Chambering existing electric guitars

For those that might be interested.

A recent request to lighten the body, The surprising result was, with the new pickups it had a really nice tone, which I think being chambered has contributed to.

Of course, the hardest is drawing the existing guitar into the computer and making sure it machines / cuts in the right areas
