So before i go ahead and put this on MDF and make it permanent, i want to get your opinion on my body shape. The three red lines represent 12th fret, 24th fret, and bridge.   |

Some points that I would work if I were making this for myself:
The treble cutaway looks a bit bigger than the bass side, which is logical but maybe not ultra-symetrical. No more than a couple mm 'off' though.
The bottom of the treble side of the body near where I would imagine there would be a jack looks a little bit flat, but again not by more than a couple mm.
Very nicely done. |

It looks something like mine, with an offset body...only as if it were stretched to be wider, instead of longer.
I kind of like yours better, actually. Go for it!

|  | so far, so good | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: US-NY-NYC | | | Very nice- a pretty balanced and mature design.
I'd consider either putting just a tad more "weight" on the treble side, controls region, or taking some away from the bass side, bottom and horn. But I think the former. Maybe leaving the horn and the waist incurve alone on the treble side, and adding a millimeter or three as it rounds down from the waist curve and around to the bottom.
Something to try, anyway.
