Haha I barely know anything about guitars, but I like that unique blue/green finish on the right one! Nice hobby man, really badass especially if those are the first two you've made!

Thanks!

Next step is to find a way to heat my work shop, winter has put a damper on my building. I'm close to putting the CNC in my kitchen for the winter

Everyone is always more impressed with the CNC it was probably more fun to make too.

All from scratch, the Y Axis is two bed frame supports welded together, the Z axis is part of an Aluminum garage door, the chassis is a 4X8 sliding glass door frame. Considering all that, it just works. Tolerance to .001"

The guitars are not quite PRS. I have a couple real ones, and while I like them, they weren't perfect for me, so I decided to make my own version of them exactly how I want them. For example you can't get a full floating floyd on a carved top body..

The violin carve I found uncomfortable, so my carve goes straight to the edge. Lots of other small things too.

That's very impressive, Mike.
