Thats the one, Woks.
Also cut a groove down the centre as well, Crusader has a very funky idea for the finish on this axe that is gunna rock the house down

Yes, you feed the body around and there is enough clearance for cutaways..

The extra height is for working on Acoustic Guitars.

If you need to work on acoustics then (as DB will tell you) you will meed to make a 'tray' to support the acoustic guitar body as you will want the top or bottom that you will be routing to be perfectly level so that the router bit cuts evenly and straight throughout the process....also be mindful to follow the grain with the router bit to avoid tear out with an acoustic....also with an electric but its less of an issue!

What Gavmiester said about levelling is very important.
With Crusaders body I had to shim it in a few spots to level it up.
Nothing fancy, just slivers of timber stuck down with double sided sticky tape.
However, I will make up a set of proper height adjustable feet.... One day
