"Cheese heads, cheese heads, rolly polly cheese heads...." that's a take off of the original Dr. Demento song "Fish Heads"
Anyway, Christian, this is nothing more than my designer's eye talking. In my opinion, yes, it would look cheesy. It would almost say, "In case you couldn't tell by looking at the object, this is a guitar". But I think you, deep down, know this or you likely wouldn't have posted the question in the first place.
On to the logo itself:
I think you have to look at it from a "rest of the world" perspective rather than a "guitar builder" perspective. Your C and H are barely readable as letters. I understand that you are trying to make a soundhole/bridge but are you drawing a picture or trying to make a company I.D.? I would guess that unless someone knew your name, they wouldn't even see the C and H as letters. And if they know your name, why do they need a business card/etc. with your logo on it? So, and again this is MY opinion, as a marketing piece, I think it's off the mark.
There are also silly little things like only having 4 tuners. I understand that the designer is going with that abstract look but if that's the case then just do the shadowed edges of six tuners. Why change the instrument? You'd be surprised at how the guitar-buying public will see these things. Like a Fender-esque headstock. If you don't want to show your actual headstock, then just hint at one with the drawing.
