But are the parts labelled on the PCB so we know where everything goes and what orientation the parts go???

Think Kelooooe is asking .... Are the PCB's screen printed with the parts Id's like a true kit PCB would be.. I did one for a 4 axis CNC foam cutter several years ago..am considering turning it into a cnc router.

Yep, that's what I'm saying!!! It makes things a lot easier when they are properly labelled / printed!!!
Ooooohhhh, CNC machines are great, Rickenbacker use them for ALL the routing and cutting, makes factories compact!

I think you will find ALL major manufacturers (even a vast majority of the smaller ones) use CNC these days Callum. Shaping guitars bodies by hand is not even an option when it come to mass production, guitars would cost too damn much and the machine will get them spot on every time.

I've got one, they're a great time saver.

Well I only got to see Rickenbacker's one, I have seen one, and I totally agree with you Pablo, they are pretty cool!!!

All the component parts are labelled and there is a huge vault of information on the link I gave complete with plans, alternative parts, huge info on getting started in pedal building, a forum to discuss the builds and alternate parts, section where you can hear completed pedals by forum members. All this was mentioned in earlier posts and links provided.

Yep. CNC is a pretty cool toy and Pablo is right, for mass production they are great!
We would not have Pit Bull kits if it wasn’t for the CNC.

However, there is something special about totally hand built Guitars, the small variations between each one makes them all unique.

This is what makes the old Fenders and Gibsons and Rickkies so special.... they were built by hand by Luthiers, not wood machinists...
