    I use pro engineer for modelling but this it at uni, don't know how much it would cost but it's great. I think there is another program we used to plot the tool path and then output to the CNC but I can't remember the name sorry. I'll have a think about it.

    Hi Wayne,

    I use Rhino and it is a very powerful modeler. It is very suitable for designing/ drawing guitars in 3D, but the learning curve is quite steep. I would recommend that you download the free trial version and have a play around with it.

    I haven't used Alibre but I hear it is quite good also.... good luck.

    cheers, jb
