Congratulations Dennis! A well deserved win in my opinion. There are so many cool details and I really like the overall shape of the body and the cutaway especially the transition from the side to the heel. I'm not usually a fan of arm bevels because to my eye the way they are often done detracts from the symmetry of the body. Yours, on the other hand, fits right in maybe because the curves at the ends blend so smoothly into the body shape. It sounds really good on your recording too.
Thanks! I agree on the arm bevels, and love that my plan worked out as well as it did. Put all the asymmetrical features together, and then no single one of them sticks out
But it's still a fine line to walk, expanding the bass side so the soundboard doesn't look like it's missing a chunk where the bevel cuts into it, but not so much that the back looks blobby.Since it looks like you're coming in second, do you want to claim the tuner button prize? If not, I'd be happy to claim it myself, since I'll certainly be making more for my own guitars in the future regardless.
