Been working on this shape.
I was looking for something a little different from the shapes I usually gravitate towards.

Render done by Sugden with my thanks once again.

Feel free to comment.

Going to be called Gallus.

gallus
(ga·luss) Dialect, chiefly Scot ~adj.
1. self-confident, daring, cheeky.
2. stylish, impressive (esp. Glasgow "He's pure gallus, by the way").
3. Orig. derogatory, meaning wild; a rascal; deserving to be hanged (from the gallows).

I like it. Clean lines, and looks comfortable and balanced too.

A little more angular and a little less smooth that your other shapes, so the name fits! Reminds me just the tiniest bit of David King's "E" shape...

Different, definitely self-confident. Looks like it would balance well.

A Gallus I am working on when I have the time.

I like it a lot! Great name too. I kind of think the lowest bout below/containing the control cavity might be a bit too steep/deep, i.e. it might look a bit better if that hip didn't stick out so far down from the waist, but that's debatable of course. :)

I love it! I would buy one! Very cool!

beutifull!!!!!!! Imagine a fretless one of these!

Just realised it is fretless!

This one is no longer the prototype and is now for a customer. I will put up the spec later today.

I like the shape - but will cast a vote for some upper horn reinforcement.
