Submitted by guitar-list on

This project describes how to make a CNC (computer numerical control) machine that could be used to make guitar parts. CNC may not always be the most efficient way to make guitar parts (a band saw and pin router is often the most sensible way to do guitar woodwork) but they are a flexible way to convert complicated 3D computer designs into reality. A good discussion about the role of CNC in guitar making was posted over at project guitar .

Warmoth

Warmoth Guitar Products, Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of electric guitar and bass parts, especially for small scale manufacturers, custom builders, and amateur constructors.

You can choose from various styles of guitar including Stratocaster and Telecaster, and various styles of bass including J-Bass and P-Bass. Unique choices in materials and construction are available for all parts of the guitar, but you will have to assemble them yourself as they don't sell complete instruments.

Brandoni

Brandoni Custom Guitars was founded by Roberto Brandoni. Brandoni was born in the town of Castelfidardo in Italy, an area with a rich history in accordion and guitar making. His first involvement in instrument making was in his uncle's accordion factory. After he relocated to England and worked in various parts of the UK music industry; initially working on accordions, reed organs and Fender guitars for distributors Dallas-Arbiter. He then established his own distribution Company, supplying cables, cases and other music related accessories. Brandoni's involvement with guitars started when he purchased large stocks of Vox and Hayman spare parts and set up a workshop in Wembley.

LANDOLA

The Landola guitars brand was established  by the Mattson Brothers in Jakobstad, Finland in 1942. Their first factory-made guitar was launched after the end of the Second World War in 1946. Their company was originally called Munkers. In the following years the company changed names and ownership, but its customers always knew it as Landola.

The 1950s saw stiff competition from other European / Scandinavian guitar brands, but Landola managed to flourish. Production at the factory was nearly 3000 guitars per year during the early 1950s. In the sixties the company participated for the first time in the Frankfurt Music Fair. The success Landola had at the fair pushed the company to start its export to United States, Canada and Europe.
