Next to it is my singlecut design that's been on here multiple times. I made this in ArtCam but since I sold my CNC I finished it by hand, but making my own CAD files I can now send them to the waterjet company and have them cut out in aluminum.
Any thoughts on the new design?

Nice, but can I suggest that you make the treble side horn the same as your single cut, that way it can be a signature that carries through your range. idunno

To my eye, the upper horn is straight off a PRS and the lower (treble side) just doesn't blend in well with it. Matter of taste, though.

I'd have the upper and lower horns match. Aesthetically it doesn't work for me to have the upper horn rounded and the lower horn pointed. I'd like this better if they were both pointed.

But I do like the "Tele" version very much.

The body lines are clean , I would soften the lower bout and reduce it just a bit .
