I thought I posted on this but reading back through... "The old gray matter ain't what it used to be, ain't what it used to be, AIN'T what it used to be..."
i like 2 and 3 the best but you asked for "1" choice. I think 3 is a wonderful combination of classic (almost Greco-Roman [no, not wrestling: sculpting!]) and traditional. That seems backwards but I trust you will get my drift. You are on my list Sir. But... I need you to take care of yourself. eat well, get some exercise, don't fret over life's stress. Because it's gotten to be a long list. How is your 2020 list looking? All best wishes on a wonderful looking - thoughtfully designed guitar. Yumph!

Choices, choices
Well, after rereading and looking at the pics, I am liking #3 more and more.
Seems the offset balances the look of the armrest. Anyone else see that? Cheers Paul

Hmmmmm. I was thinking of a blend. The body of two with the top curve of 3.

Then the "ah-ha" moment...build one that wife is Ok with, that most people on AGF have said they like also...#2...then, add a few little #3 touches here and there and viola...a WINNER. Result: keeps wife happy, satisfies builder, and keeps marketing options in tact

I'm pretty sure she'll be okay with any of his designs - as long as he sells them.

Thanks for your vote Marty.
Mike, you are right. I must be brave and eschew the compromise. I think I will do number 3. In fact I know I will do number 3. THANK YOU AGFers for helping clarify my muddled thoughts.

Speaking of...what has happened with this build? I haven't seen an update for a while, and would love to know what has developed here. This looked to be an exciting build, can't wait to see it with finish.

#4 fits nicely with the style of the bevel.
