I really like the top one in guitars-vbn.jpg. Of course, the nicely drawn bevel counts in its favour ;-)
I think that a real guitar based on this drawing could benefit from having a curved back side (so that it is thinner in the middle and thicker at the ends). I guess it would be comfortable to play, plus it would go well with the overall shape.
Thanks, I've been drawing several variations of this shape in the last months, this one is getting good but it's not yet perfect... a few months ago the top was much more curved but on pkj it's completely straight!
But the lower horn is getting satisfying, and I will need something like this for my next project (longer horn doesn't work on my current one...).
On eLutherie I saw these curved backs that make the guitar wrap around your body, it's bizarre, I should just try one to get the actual feeling before I'm really convinced, but it's definitely interesting...
