I like it. It does kinda remind me of the Schecter 004.
If a LeCompte and a 004 had a baby, that's what it would look like.

Nice

I would prefer it if the controls followed the curve of the bottom bout instead of being a straight line.

Also, the spec doesn't state how many frets, but the graphic has 23 ???

There will be 22 frets, the 23rd line was to figure the end of the fretboard. The maple neck will extend further in the body after the end of the fingerboard....

I like the wickenbacker comment because they are 2 of my favorite basses....

i will do another dawing with the knobs following the lower body curve, we'll see how it will look like....
