Even if you never build a guitar before, this method will show you how. I start with "reference" designs, which only require that you acquire an image of a guitar of the web. Once you have this image, I show you how to modify it in Solidworks, to create your own unique design! The results speak for themselves. Read what others had to say about these videos!
