MeshCAM will work nicely for you. for something slightly more expensive (and probably a lot more versitile) a lot of the guitar makers out here use MadCAM which is a pluggin that integrates directly into Rhino. There is also (on the ridiculously expensive end) RhinoCAM (the one I use) which is also a plugin and also integrates right into Rhino3D. RhinoCAM has a few free viseos to show you how it works.
There is also another thread here called "let's make a strat" or something like that (just do a search for it). The g-code for the neck is there ready for download.
