Default looking for the "canted double cutaway

I have been searching all over to find this guitar. It is like a Wechter double cutaway, but the cutaway is canted (deeper on the bottom) and the neck heel is on an angle. I think it was quite some time ago. I am buying wood now to build my next guitar and I want to incorporate something similar.
Thanks in advance ( I need to check out the neck joint)

I think Ned Milburn does something similar with the treble side of the upper bout of some of his guitars?

Abe Wechter did the same thing decades ago. IIRC he built one for John McLaughlin back in the seventies.

A google search will doubtless turn up more info.
