Between 2001 and 2005 I designed and built five electric guitars at my machine shop in Nikiski, Alaska. They were all carved from solid billet aluminum on manually controlled machine tools and no computer control. I did trade one guitar to the OneCNC company for one seat of their CAD/CAM program. After that I designed all the guitars produced by Strictly 7 in Ohio. I would program their CNC machine remotely and they would assemble the guitar.
