Once again thanks in advance!  |
To reinforce what Gerry said.....yes mach can do 3d. I machine 3d all the time, and I use Rhino for the modeling and Madcam for the cam. The guitar you posted can actually be done quite easily in 2d rather than 3d. You will need all the pockets modeled but other than that you just need to get comfortable with Mach.
I in an "extended" process of building a bass for my brother and the only 3d I will do on it is the neck. Everything else will be done with 2d.

ps in the musical instruments forum check out the "Lets build a Strat" thread. You might find it interesting.
