Perhaps if the upper bout on the base side also reflected some of the telecaster influence, the overall impression might be more of a blend of Tele and V.

Nice "rubbing stamping" there Sonic!
I do like your idea though.
I could also see a TOM bridge with a humbucker and then a tele neck pickup...

Just curious, do you pronounce it (sorry, pronounth it) ee-gor, or eye-gor???

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Probably what @Ig0r was getting at, but you could mirror the right side. That would make it either balanced........or twice as horny
Now, we know there were drawings and rumour has it one or two prototypes may have been made of the Moderne....but I think @impala59 stumbled upon a drawing of a 4th Gibson alongside the Flying V and the Explorer. A design so devious and depraved that Gibson was too ashamed to admit that one of *their* designers could have the indecency to come up with it.....
Thanks for the rescue attempt Sonic! I think you may have inadvertently created a new design there. Sort of splitting the hybrid down the centre line. At least it’s good for a laugh as is🤪🤪🤪
As for a lump on top, alas it’s all cut now, maybe a cxxxxxxion on the bottom is a possibility. Oh no more room for double-entendres 😀
