Welcome!
btw is that a CNC machine you have in your shop?
It looks so small and 'cute' must be able to do a lot of awesome stuff with that.

r9player, thats a duplicator, the same 60' companys used, I use this for duplicate the backshape of my necks, take me too much time shaping necks by hand for the demand, I also use it for my carved tops!

I told you mike this place is full of great people and with a great taste. I told mike about the gear page forum. He has been my luthier of choice for the last 15 years. I have 2 instruments made by him and he is not a only very talented musician and Luthier he is also a great friend.

Very cool, We have that exact same duplicator at the shop. We use it to do carve top guitar bodies.

That's right Anderson!! we use it for carved tops and for the back neck shape after I make hand carved the prototypes, pretty cool machine, I use it to keep the old school hand craftsmanship integrity!! beautiful guitars you have there!!!
