The geometry is tricky, and not just the curve- Lots of planes have to come together correctly for it to work right. Much less wiggle room than a standard style guitar.

Making the side have a compound curve so that it matches a curve on the heel is insane. The heel on the Martin makes it less complicated than what you're doing.
