Never seen any of Trevors guitars look like that. Being that it is his Im sure its well carried out. Looks like a rockabilly guitar to me.

I did the design and Trevor provided the craftsmanship and expertise - the design was inspired by the DiMauro Special Chorus, gypsy jazz guitars. However the bracing is quite different than a traditional gypsy jazz.

Oh wow. That is pure class. Reminiscent to me of a vintage Maccaferri, but jazzed up in an understated, almost retro-futurist way.
There is nothing I don't love about that. Congratulations. It is a work of art. I wish you 100 years of pleasure with it. Sound clips!

Here's the design basic (before shaving and adding bridge plate etc.)
