This Guitar really “ROCKS”
0Custom built Guitar made from Galaxy Black Granite.
A CNC machining center for stone was used to create this ‘rock’ guitar which is made from Galaxy Black granite. The stone was calibrated down to 10mm on the CNC to reduce weight. The shape, holes, pockets and all the cut outs for the pick-ups and multiple switches were routed on a Prussiani Oceania CNC machine. Clamping down a small piece like this guitar is always a little challenge with only suction but it was holding just fine and did not move at all.
The piece was done on the CNC machine in 3 stages. First the stone was put on the CNC face down to calibrate the thickness to 10mm. For the second stage the stone was flipped over on the spot using the same reference points to keep the piece on the same position. This is so that holes, pockets and cut outs are lining up perfectly as programmed. For the third stage the vacuum cups were rearranged and the stone flipped face down again so that the CNC can do all the necessary routing of pockets and cable channels.
After the stone was finished on the CNC the edges were hand polished and then laminated to a Paulownia timber base which is a very light weight material. The total weight of the finished guitar is only 4.7kg.

5-axis CAD/CAM system for milling out STL-files in stone
CARSO 5X has been designed for the non frequent user. It’s simple, intuitive and quick to learn. We know they all say so, but take a look at the videos to convince yourself.
CARSO 5X has few and understandable options and methods for fast preparation of rough and fine cutting. It has been designed for one-of-a-kind production. Our main priority has been to make a simple and straight forward system, which does not tie you up in front of the computer.
Selected features
- Add milling support for fragile parts like arms and legs on a statue so they don’t break during milling
- Combine CAD geometry and scans to complete the project. Model a pedestal in your CAD system and mount the scanned bust on it inside CARSO 5X
- Fast tool path calculating benefitting from the newest multi-core PC’s and Windows operating system
- Fast import/export in popular triangle formats *.STL,*.OBJ and *.PLY
- Scale the artwork up or down in seconds while maintaining true proportions
- Wire cutting, Saw-blade and Core-drill for efficient and fast rough cutting
- Tool stock manager
- Password protected Machine manager
- Import of user defined 5-axis head for simulation
- Requires no TCP option in the Controller
- Post process the project to another type of 5-axis CNC machine in seconds
