You just start off with your regular 14 fret design.
The first time we did this 16 fret design was when I worked for Stefan Sobell in the 80s - Andy Irving wanted Stefan to make him a guitar body with 8 strings (guitar bouzouki) and he wanted to be able to capo high. We'd never made a cutaway at the time and weren't too sure how to do it! The problem was solved by leaving the bridge and the waist where they were and drawing the shoulders in to reveal a bit more neck. I love how it looks. I'm surprised it's taken me this long to apply the same idea to a 6 string...
