Building a Custom Bigsby-Inspired Lap Steel Guitar from Scratch | CNC Milling | Part 3

In this video series, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of designing and constructing a Bigsby-inspired lap steel guitar with custom-made replica pickups and Bigsby-style pickguard accessories. We'll use Fusion 360 CAD and CAM software to create the design, CNC machines to cut the various components precisely, and traditional methods such as sanding, drilling, and finishing to put it all together.
Throughout the series, we'll cover a wide range of topics, including:
Understanding the basics of lap steel guitar design and construction
Creating a 3D model of the guitar using Fusion 360
Generating toolpaths and G-code for CNC cutting
Selecting materials, including the body, neck, and fretboard
Installing custom-made replica pickups
Designing and fabricating Bigsby-style pickguard accessories
Using traditional woodworking methods to assemble and finish the guitar
Whether you're an experienced guitar builder or just getting started, this video series will provide the knowledge and skills to create a genuinely unique Bigsby-inspired lap steel guitar that looks and sounds amazing. So, join us on this exciting journey, and let's get started!
