This video was incredibly helpful. I've probably watched it a dozen times over the past week or two. I ended up grabbing screenshots of each step for an easy future reference. Thank you!
Hi Garret. Great video! I agree with most of the approach that you use; personally I have found that simultaneously considering how a neck can be modelled/built using subtractive modelling helps a lot with the process when neck is actually going to be made rather than just simulated via additive modelling. I design necks (and other non-guitar products) more or less in the additive direction as you describe, but use the result as the basis for rebuilding the object as a series of discrete negative processes from a wooden blank of specific dimension. This also helps me design various workholding jigs with vacuum galleries, locating pins, etc. plus the various 5-axis processes. It also works for people who say, flatten the face of the headstock and bring in the transition up the the fingerboard with a drum sander of specific diameter, so that the demands of the tooling and processes marry up nicely with the design. Two directions in order to meet the same objective. What are your thoughts on design methodology from "desktop-down" and "manufacturing-upwards"?
Hi Garret, great tutorial. I am new to Rhino and have just got Version 8. One question, I have followed this and at the headstock connection I am getting the bulge even with the height selection turned off, do you have any idea why I can't get a smooth transition? Thank you, your tutorials are much appreciated🙂
Great video! Looking forward for the heel. Curious to see why your heel end is 2.22 instead of 2.1875. Is it because your considering 22frets with no fretboard overhang? Guess I’ll wait for that. Would love to see an Ibanez style volute/angled headstock design. Great work, I’m eager to learn more!
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) the dimensions can be taken with a grain of salt here, were mainly just looking at the surfacing techniques! I'd definitely encourage everyone to look at diagrams online for detailed measurements. I'll definitely start working on some videos for the heel and volute style this week 👍👍👍
Liked and Subscribed Garret! Thank You. Just a quick question. Why would you not use Network Surface instead of Sweep 2? Is it a preference or it just certain places?
@@naminnooman PlanarSRF usually gives simpler isocurves so it's easier to work with whenever possible. Patch can work too you just gotta make sure you don't go overboard with the number of isocurves.
@@garretelliott8584 Thanks Garret! I was also wondering, if you were to build one of these necks, how tight should the body neck pocket be? Any ideas? Also what CAM software do you use?
@@naminnooman hey there! I don't have much experience physically producing these, but I believe you build them to the exact specs, then sand it down slightly to ensure a really tight fit. As far as cam goes, I know there's a plug-in fir rhino called rhinoCAM, but I haven't gotten into that so I wouldn't be able to give any useful information there.
Amazing job! Is it possible for you to share the 3dm file for this project if you have it saved somewhere? There is no way I can do this myself by watching the tutorial because I am a total newbie to Rhino. It would be perfect if you could share the file so that I can check it in Rhino. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Friend!! It's so easy as you show us!!!
Hands down an awesome turorial. Thank you so much for posting and sharing.
Glad people are still finding this useful all these years later
Thank you nice job!

Great job. Thank you so much.
Glad you found it useful!!
Can't thank you enough, this is the hardest thing to model on guitar, Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you very much
Good Rhino 7 Lesson many thanks.
Glad you found it helpful!!

I should mention the headstock thickness is .5 inches. Hope this video helped!

You certainly could! They work Interchangeably in most cases. I use that method in my neck heel video👍. Thanks for subbing!!
@@garretelliott8584 Yes I did see that you used mostly NetworkSrf Was also wondering why planer surface instead of Patch?!

Yeah! Just send me your email I can send it over
You Sir, Rock! Thanks a million! 😍

Ok it lets me type with spaces in between.
Thank you!
Glad this helped!!
@@garretelliott8584 For sure, I'm coming over to Rhino from Fusion. Very different approaches for sure.
