    Default CNC Software for guitars

    G'day Guys
    I have been making electric guitars for sometime now and have decided to enter the realm of CNC routers, the machine is under construction and I should have it by the end of May. I will purchase CAD guitar plans at first, and learn the CAD side as I go, my question is more about CAM, the man making the router has recommended Vetric Vcarve Pro as the CAM program. I am a total newbie but I don't know if that is a good program for guitar work? Does anyone here use it on guitars and will it do carve tops? Cheers Paul.

    I know you can do carve tops on a CNC router, but is Vetric VCarve Pro software able to do them?
