Software help needed with Two Trees CNC router.

Is there a free software for the CNC that allows you to carve directly from the software like Easel does? The easier to use the better. I don’t have enough time to learn a complicated software. I will be carving guitar bodies and inlays on fretboards. Nothing really else. What is the easiest software to use for this and which will allow me to carve directly from the software. I can’t seem to get the card to read in my laptop. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I use a two trees TTC 450 Pro desktop version. It’s a decent machine for my needs with an 18x18 workspace it can carve out a body and do the inlays. Unfortunately I can’t do a neck buts it what I could afford at the time. I haven’t used it in months because I didn’t have time to learn everything.

I am selling my 7 string Ghost

Unfortunately I have to downsize and am selling some of my higher end guitars. One of my Legators unfortunately have to go. I am curious what everyone’s thoughts are on these guitars. I personally love them. Legator and Ormsby are my two top brands. I only have one Ormsby so I’m not coming off of that one. So what are everyone’s thoughts on these guitars? I am pricing it around 900$

Having trouble selling this guitar

I am big into headless guitars. Out of the 25 guitars I own 6 are headless. I am unfortunately forced to thin out my collection and have had my NK posted for quite some time. All my other guitars with headstocks get sold or at least people inquire but for some reason I never even get a bite on my NK. To be honest this guitar is a beast. I swapped out the original Artec bridge pup with a Dimarzio D Activator or whichever way it is. lol. It really wasn’t necessary since the Artec pickups are actually pretty good. Either way I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only person who likes headless guitars. Let me know your opinion on these.

Just built this. Need some feedback please. It’s far from perfect. This has NO CNC work. All by hand.

I just finished this guitar the other day. I am a luthier and usually do guitars built to people’s specs but this one I just built to build. It has some finish issues but l will fix those. Other than that it’s pretty nice. That scalloped frets are fun. Never had a guitar with scalloped fret so I figured I’d give it a try. Anyway I’d love some feedback.

I can’t add a picture but really should have added more when I posted the ad. The angle of the picture makes the string alignment look off but it’s actually not. Someone had also mentioned that the neck pocket looks too big but I can’t figure that one out at all. Must be a shadow. I’ll make another post and maybe it will show things better.

Anyway the guitar is being sold. I was going to use it as a gift for someone because even I will say it’s not my best work. I sold it for 500$. It plays great. The sales not finalized yet so I’ll let you know if it falls through. Thanks everyone.

Is this the right body for this wood take 2 with pictures

I want to make an LP but there are two issues. Firstly I don’t have a template so I would be making a different type of LP. Basically one of my own design. Second there is a curvature to the front of an LP body that I wouldn’t be able to accomplish because this top is not think enough. I mean it is but it would be pushing it. I need some ideas here. I displayed the wood on a previous post but can’t wait for these templates to arrive. I must use what I have and keep the assembly line moving before the next shipment of wood arrives. Please your thoughts would be appreciated.

Replacement neck for 6 string Dingwall with swappable fretboards.

So a client brought me a project that I didn’t think was possible. He has a6 string Dingwall bass. It’s beautiful instrument with a very aggressive multiscale board. He asked if it were possible to change to fret less and microtonal and multiscale. After much thought I took on the project. I made a complete new neck from wenge with a maple core and gave him the ability to swap out his fretboard. At this moment we only have 2 boards fretless and multiscale but I am working on the microtonal. Let me know what you think. Btw no on was as surprised as me when this actually worked. lol

I have attached photos of Ash that I picked up this weekend for a great price. It’s much cheaper to buy like this. I can get most of the money back off eBay anyway. This Ash slab I bought might be one of the cleanest I’ve ever seen. I cut one body blank 21x18x1.75 and it is beautiful. What would you guys use this for? I will be building a 6 string Ormsby futura copy for myself. Leave the rest for new clients. Still want to know what anyone else would build with these.
