New design thoughts?

I'd put it just above that point. I think you'll have problems with the point interfering with the strap otherwise. It's a good spot anyways.

Yeah I think so too. Thanks for all the input.

Ok I think I actually like this one with the longer horn better than the original.

Here I dramatically made the horn longer and I really don't care for it at all. (I didn't make the back picture longer since I didn't like it.)

i like the really long one. i think it should be used by someone at. maybe a prototype as a singlecut....?

Um...

It looks just like a Musiclander body...

Yep pretty much a cross between that and a Jazz.

I like much more Jareds design than Fenders

without the extended upper horn itll balance horrible

with it it looks ugly

back to the drawing boards.

You don't think this is a good compromise between longer upper horn and aesthetics?

I do like the medium horn, for looks.

For me the short horn, and for the most part, the medium horn, give a more compact aesthetic, with a more "box" aspect ratio in the body, more self contained. The longer horn makes for a longer, thinner proportion, with a more vertical (along the neck direction) "energy" or "movement." But if you want to keep the long horn for balance but retain the previous feel, you might be able to do it by working a bit more with the shape, such as moving the bass horn a bit farther from the neck, widening out the form to re-match the increased visual length. A little bit might do it.
