It doesn't really have anything that shouts "different" though. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

The body is a nicely balanced conservative design. Nothing wrong with that. The only thing I'm not crazy about there are the little flat areas on the ends of the horns.
The headstock looks nice too. Sometimes I think designing a nice looking headstock is harder than a body, but yours looks great. The only quibble I have is that you have a "curvy" body and a "pointy" headstock.
But hey, it's your baby. Go make some sawdust.
