Welcome to our new interview series: Design. Carve. Sell. Where we feature the stories of how people are starting and growing their business with the aid of CNC technology.

To kick us off, we're talking with Chris Mock of Highline Guitars. Chris has sold a whole bunch of guitars by combining CNC technology with old world handcrafted techniques to create one of a kind of one-off guitars, you haven't seen anywhere else.

We get into a bunch of things like how CNC's can help you reduce your overall labor costs, how do you price to where do you get your first sell, and how do you grow a business in a niche that is already pretty crowded?
