Regarding the guitars on the guitars-hot.jpg picture: It's a really good design, but there's one thing that concerns me: Won't your right forearm rest on the pointy corner? If so, I imagine it could hurt some.
I especially like the bottom one with its cavity on the top curve. That detail migh make it rest better on the player's breastbone if you play sitting.
...the top one in the guitars-cum.jpg image looks really nice as well.
oups, you comment on the post in which for the very firstz time I gave stupid names to my sketches!
anyway, the first guitar you talk about is probably the one that I will build- I keep working on its design... I made a model out of cardboard of an earlier version (http://guitarren.blogspot.com/2010/01/baritone-project.html) and the horn is behind the spot where the arm rests - like on the Ovation Breadwinner that inspired this model (http://guitarren.blogspot.com/2008/10/ovation-breadwinner.html).
Is it vain to have a personal guitar blog - one more guitar blog? Probably...
But when I started to pay more and more attention to my guitars - lifetime companions and much more than mere working tools -, I've been quite happy to gather information on the net, on blogs, forums, fan sites, etc... So maybe some people will benefit in a way or another from this one.
And maybe also one day someone will see and appreciate my design work and ask me to design guitars for his project or his company - feel free to contact me if you're interested!

A sunburst Stratocaster walks into a bar, orders a beer and takes a stool next to a hot-looking Les Paul Goldtop, who's sipping an umbrella drink. The Strat leers at the Les Paul for several minutes and then says, "Hey, that's some set of humbuckers you got on you, darlin'."
"You're not getting any feedback off of me with a pickup line like that," the Goldtop says indignantly.
