Upper bouts wider than lower?

I'm thinking of doing a body with the upper bouts wider than the lower. Is there any examples of this out there? I photoshopped a tele bass to look somewhat like I'm thinking:

BTW the goal here is to not have the lower right bout interfere with noodling on the couch :D . I also wanted to experiment with a "tight butt with double D implants" look ;) . The tele control plate would have no tone control and a jack in that hole as an edge mount jack also interferes with couch use.
