Which to choose???

Bassed on some of the feedback, I redid the design a bit.
Biggest change is the tip of the upper horn is now between the 12th and 13th fret.
Also brought the knee rest forward a bit for better balance when played sitting down.
I bought some Carvin H50N Jazz pickups on eBay which I plan to use with this.
I'm also thinking about a Cocobolo top. It's a bit oily, but I figure as long as I clean it with denatured alcohol before gluing it should hold.
