Remember* you can cut the shapes onto some 1/4" MDF as a template. I figured I would share this to help anyone out who is looking to use their origin to make a guitar. This is a charvel san dimas super strat inspired style guitar, which has a floyd rose bridge, humbucker pickup at the bridge and single coil pickup at the neck. If you find this helpful and would like to throw me a couple bucks you can venmo or PayPal me @craverstamey , I did spend a ton of time refining all these files.

Enjoy! I chose to do a fiddleback veneer top after contouring the carved areas, which add complication but is unnecessary. The carving I prefer to do with a kutzall disc on an angle grinder. I will post more pictures as I finish mine.
