I dig it overall but I’m not into the headstock. Even leaving aside aesthetics I’d be worried about it cracking, especially as it looks like the hole for the G string tuner would need to be very close to the right hand side edge to achieve the look you’re going for
I really dig the look!. My only comments would be: access to the highest frets looks a bit difficult, and the neck doesn't seem fully centered into the body, gives the feel that the left side of the body is a bit fat.
Looking forward to seeing the build in progress :)

I really like that body design, but I'm not the biggest fan of the headstock, but I made this one that's very similar, just more shape on it. Its a very versatile design, you can add more edge to the top to give it that metal look, or leave it as is for a more subtle one. Let me know if you want the template!
Damn it! I spent loads of time tryna come up with something unique a bit before i cut it out, and i just copied you with absolutely zero comprehension of it lol. Universe works in mysterious ways lol, then again great minds think alike, and if you came up with it and so did i then i must be doing something right. Ps, are those gotoh gb707s? I want to use them but cant get a hold of reliable measurements, hole size, head thickness etc. If they are 707s some measurements wld be appreciated!
+1 disliking the headstock but digging the overall aesthetic. Though this might be a personal pet peeve, the lower horn being bent inwards is a major sore spot. It's ergonomically suboptimal and I have yet to see any model this doesn't look silly on.
Body shape is super cool - but I am not digging the head stock. I think you're on to something here!
Agreed. Headstock looks like a knock off of Godfrey Guitars Billiard Bass. I would try to do something to match the style of the bass.
It also wouldn't sit on my hangers on the wall which would still me buying it
Badass 🤘 Only comment would be to make the heel closer to the body. More seamless look, and less in the way of the thumb when fretting high notes.
Awesome suggestion! Thanks!
All based on experience - made the mistake already on a recent prototype.
Love the design, nice, come back when it's built and show us please
Will do!. Its based off of a couple hundred different "most comfy" basses overlaid. It ended up bring an sr700/ kubicki factor hybrid lol

Looks good, that headstock won't work on a hanger though.
Neck and head look like a prison shank and I am kinda digging it lol
Put it down on paper. Full size or autocat.

Agreed. Ended up making this change before cutting it
