ummm... in my opinion (youll hear that a lot on TB) you really should start by drawing the neck, tapered, do it properly.. do it properly. Then you can work around that. No I will not explain how to draw a neck, Pasdabeer can do that, hes got a few tricks. Ive never been a fan of half-assed jobs, and a good job starts with proper planning. Another good thing to do is simply start with a standard Jazz template, and you can work around that too.

Funny you should say that.. I'm definitely a Fender guy, and I was going to say: Number 7 is the only one I could see myself playing.  |

Thank you all for your patience and guidance. Continuing with my experimentation, I discarded the really bad ones, and created some others (hopefully not as bad).

Although most of the less work'able models are out... still the only one that may work is the #18.
On most of the other models the lines just dont "flow" well or doesnt at all. Look how the lines goes on model #18 or other commercial models and then look at the rest of your models. For example take #26, it looks like you took 4 different models (bass horn/high horn/bass part of the butt/high part of the butt) and put 'em all together... it lines just doesnt flow. The same goes for #23. For #27 you just took the butt off of the #18 and replaced the horns with ones that just dont fit. The same with #25 - #28.
Look at the lines of those body and make them flow, dont force them.
