    maybe you guys will have some feedback, not really getting any in the other forum. let me know what you think, this is an in progress lefty 4 string. also the body on the bottom is for a right handed project that i'm going to sell when it's completed. the sketches are just the body styles that i plan to be making in the future. thanks

    Cool looking body style Shane! I'm looking forward to the finished shots when it's done!

    Looks neat. Is that bocote?

    The neck pocket looks a little short. Will this be a set-neck instrument?

    it's a bocote top, 4 pieces, but matched up nicely. mahogany mid body, and a pau ferro back. it will be a set neck.

    Nice and creative! The headstock shape is a real eye grabber (and probably to some extent, a cord, pantleg, and mike stand grabber - be careful!) :)
