Does this design already exist?

The more I think about this, the more I think I will pull a Les Paul drawing and use that as a baseline.

If I leave the lower bout intact and move the upper bout to 19", that should give me a nice, clean line for the forearm facet and also allow lots of options for the cutaway.

Wow...I've never seen that Majesty before, and would never have made the connection with this shape.

It's amazing how much contours, paint and accessories can influence how one perceives an instrument's basic profile.

I like it. neck and middle pickup set up, mahogany w/ cherry stain, translucent smokey plexi PG.....

I think I like this a bit better:

I like it a bitter better too. That should work pretty well as a guitar and bass. Except maybe a bit more of a curve on the bottom side of the lower horn so it will fit better in the sitting position.
this BC Rich Eagle is a perfect example of what I mean

I agree the waist could use a little refinement, but I like this quite a bit better than the first version.

I'll probably have another run at this this weekend, and it will likely end up as a cross between a G335 and an R350.

It will be 13" wide, so it will fit a standard bass or Jag/PRS guitar case.

I dig it. It's cool watching your progress as a builder. I read your entire thread over in the Luthier's Corner. Good stuff man.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it!

I'm proud and fortunate to have made the industry connections that enable me to offer such amazing and unique instruments.

The b3 SL is the closest I've found, but still a bit more "Special" than 325:
