Jon pretty adequately answered the question.
One can build whatever one wants. However, the way guitars are usually built today is the result of a lot of trial and error over many years by many makers. If one stays generally within those parameters one is nearly guaranteed to produce something that everyone will recognize as sounding, playing and looking like a guitar. The further one deviates from those standard designs the less likely one is to produce a standard guitar. It depends on what you want to achieve. There is nothing wrong with diverging from the beaten path, just be aware that there were reasons for it being the beaten path.
