I am almost on the verge of going for walnut like that, instead of bubinga on my next project. Thanks for showing off such a lovely piece of wood

Still kicking myself for not grabbing the slab of bastogne I was eyeing that was $90

2 things.
1st, got this with the 20% off on black friday.
2nd, Buy one anyways. I was unsure about getting a walnut top, but this is very very different to the other walnuts I've seen or cut. Doesn't have that ridonculous midrange thing going on. Very pleasantly surprised with it's tap tone, and small test cut I made today.
I almoast feel it was unfair getting this at a discount.

Alrighty, I need your help. Tell me what you think about this design.
It's basically the shape I used for my nylon 7 stringer, with a few rather obvious touch ups.
Oh, and it will MOST likely be a 7 stringer... unless I don't get the wood I ordered months ago, then I'll adapt this for a 6er.

also, I swear one day I'll tear table table appart and make a guitar out of it. it's 2" mahogany after all...
I love the swoop in the back of the guitar but I'm not sure about the horns. It's quite unique though. Regardless I can't wait for another one of your builds to start.

I dig the design man, but if it were me Ide make the ass end a little smaller.

It's certainly on the phat side of the scale. I'll put it on a diet and see what's what.
But I thought fat bottomed girls make the rockin' world go 'round?

Got a bunch of tools!
Let's see, cabinet scrapers set, dead blow fretting hammer, fret slot depth gauge, fret protecto thingers, binding chanel router bit and ball bearings, chissel sharpening set, height gauge, Japanese fret slot cleaning saw, fret tang nipper, micromesh things, a template to try out, lots of binding, and a bunch of random guitar parts like pots, knobs, etc.
Still no bandsaw though, and it seems like I shall remain bandsaw-less for a good while.

Return of the Dread-I
I agree the booty should be a bit slimmer and I even think it might look cool if the uppeer horn were slightly larger. Then again, making the ass end smaller might make all the necessary difference as the upper horn is already noticeably larger than the lower one.

haha with my build I was really torn out between choosing a walnut burl and the buckeye burl I chose to put along with my birdseye maple board and redwood body 
looks like we have similar taste in wood!

I am thoroughly looking forward to this, Mr. Scherzo. If you'd like my 2c on your body shape (unless you've already cut it) I would say, move the little hook on the back edge further down towards the bottom, and push that side of the bottom out a bit to make it less symmetrical. Also perhaps on the horns, put a little angle on the outside edges right on the corner, so there's a separate arc for the tip bit..... Oh fuck it, to MS paint. EXCUSE THE SHITTINESS PLEASE!! I hope you catch my drift...
Look forward to seeing the progress!
