    I'm not too sure about this design because of it's width.
    I'll do another slimmer version tonight. I also want to play around with the lower part of the cut out.
    The more I look at it, the less I like it!
    Acoustics:
    1995 Maton EM725C - Solid 'A' Spruce Top, QLD Walnut B&S, AP5 Pickup
    2015 Ibanez AEL108MD-NT - Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany B&S, Fishman Sonicore Pickup


    Electrics:
    Pitbull LP-1S - http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=5745
    Carsen Superstrat Rebuild - http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...ead.php?t=6284

    You might also want to consider how easy it is going to be to tidy up in and around those tight corners. It may be less fiddly to go with a more open radius in there and that may change the whole visual dynamic of the lower curve.
    With the angle of the strings to the pegs over the nut, is that curve going to create interference issues?
