I've had this question for a while, how did Sho Bud and Emmons make their changers? I wouldn't think CNC would be around at that time. So how did they do it?

Liam,
You’re correct, CNC was not in the picture at the time. They would have been profiled with a jig or forming tool, with a jig for boring the holes as well. Some parts would have had a fixture on a milling machine, with the depth of the mill and the travel of the table set particularly, so that each part was the same. |

| To add to Liam's question, when did CNC become the "norm" in making changers and who led the way? |

I'm thinking stamping out the raise and lower bars might have entered into the process at one point or another.

| Some of the cast aluminum bits were just ground, polished & drilled. Hartley Peavey started making CNC Spanish guitars in 1977. |

In production work, punch-tape
for numerically-controlled
machining preceeded CNC.

| Ross Shaffer has a lot of good videos on YouTube on how he builds the new Sierra steel. |

So he does, especially the one where he baths the hogs. But I think the question is more about how Shot Jackson made his.
