Fret Not Guitars Lets You Design a Guitar Body for a Real CNC Router

fretnotguitars.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A guitar and bass configurator that turns adjustable body shapes into CNC-cut bodies, fitted instruments, or finished builds.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The configurator begins with five generic body geometries and exposes sliders for practical changes such as waist, horns, cutaways, and scale-related proportions. Its validation layer checks whether the proposed body leaves enough wood around the control cavity, keeps string lines over the body, and remains reachable by the shop's router bits. Orders are described as two-sided CNC cuts made on registration pins, with options ranging from a sanded body to a wired, strung, and set-up instrument.
