The pictures do not give the wood combo justice, however this is the inspiration: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/lu...zations/145584-nordic-8-string-completed.html
however i am using my own design body, inspired from the dean ml which is my favorite guitar body design of all time.

Also i wish to note that the edges are smoothly beveled when transitioning from sides to front or back, and there are multiple cutaways for comfort and the transition can be seen in again this link: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/lu...zations/145584-nordic-8-string-completed.html

Overall thoughts? (btw i dont draw. so i recognize the sketch is fairly awful)

Make the omega cut slightly larger and the treble horn + headstock tip a bit longer and you've got a clear winner!
