I agree with printer 2 that sound is very important. It also might be a good move on a prototype to put it in the hands of a musician for a year or so and see how the construction holds up. You certainly would not want to get them back with problems after investing all the time and money you have. I did two prototypes with a different side bevel a while back and plan on waiting a few years to see if problems develop. One is in the hands of a musician and the other I play every day. So far things are good although I found out that a bevel on the back is not always a good thing if you play classical style as the guitar has a tendency to slip forward like the Ovations use to do. I guess that is why they put a pad on the bottom. Might have to do the same.
