Apparently the florentine cutaway was probably first seen in the guitars of a french luthier named Georges Warnecke in the 19th century.
https://www.fender.com/articles/tech...which-is-which Most of my guitars in the past have come with some kind of cutaway whether Venetian or florentine. At the moment my only full sized guitar does not have a cutaway. I dont really play higher than the 12th fret anyway but it is a nice to have option if I ever need to play higher than that. The most unusual cutaways I have seen are the double cutaway that was innovated by Mike Doolin (https://www.doolinguitars.com/lutherie.html) though he has retired from lutherie years ago, and the bendaway with bevel that was introduced by Micky Uchida and paid homage to by Isaac Jang.

Some of the tunes I like to play use a capo up high and I need the room. So a couple of my guitars have cutaways, most don't. I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Another relevant issue is the effect a cutaway has on tone if any. It is my impression that most luthiers do not think the loss of that volume of the guitar cavity makes any difference that is perceptible to human senses. As well the bracing in the top of that sort of the guitsr is usually very heavy for structural reasons and so the loss of that portion of the top to create and cutaway is also not seen to be si ificant.
