Acoustic Guitar Design in Fusion360, Part 7 The Sides and Body

Описание: This series is a tutorial on designing and modeling an acoustic guitar in Fusion 360. The guitar features a radiused top and bottom, a variable geometry fretboard, a variable headstock angle, and a variable heel angle. The model is highly detailed with over 90 external components.

Future Parts will cover modeling the kerfed linings, top and bottom bracing, side braces, and heel and tail blocks. Finally, we'll assemble all the components into a complete dreadnought guitar. I may follow up after that with how I modeled frets, strings, saddle, nut, and the bridge.

Part 1 covers the parameter list used to model the guitar and the fretboard design and model.
Part 1a is a quick solution to radiused fret slots on exposed tangs
Part 1b is a fully parametric design change for radiused fret slots
Part 2 covers the design and model of the neck body and headstock.
Part 2a is some clarification on the neck and fretboard
Part 3 covers the design and model of the heel transition.
Part 4 covers the remaining details of the neck.
Part 5 covers the radiused top
Part 5a is a better way to sketch the top
Part 5b is a proof of concept on the geometry we created for the top and bottom
Part 6 covers the radiused bottom
Part 7 covers the sides and assembling the body
Part 8 covers the heel and tail blocks
