personally I've seen enough V's out there.  But thats just me 

I would like too see a new orginal double cutaway design that looks cool...

How much I have to agree with you Godin! In fact I am damning myself trying to come up with the perfect design for me...

Well for me any way Almost all of my designs have been double cutaway's of some sort so building a Flying-V is orginal for me! :-)

Hey, uh, Matt, I don't mean to pee on you guys' metalhead party but...

The first one looked like some chick's butt got pushed up in there

The second one looked like (as the man said) somebody's testicles

And the latest one? I'm seeing the silhouette of a bald guy's head, ears and all.... :D:D

Me too!!...but then you were the only one who thought my original reverse strat design was any good! :D

Still...at least the metal guys are prepared to go out on a limb...just a little too much of the gothic going on around PG these days...makes a change from PRS clones but...

As long as you're doing a "top" you should remove some of the Oak's weight in the bass side wing. You can route a hollow cavity or drill it out with a bunch of 1/2" holes. I think it would help the guitar balance better. You're coming in pretty far at the neck joint, so your strap button on the neck side will be disadvantaged. Hollowing the top wing might make it easier for you to hold it in proper balance. Looks good, though.

I was thinking of a V style up until recently. basically the cutawayof the bottom section of a gibson moderne with a sweep like the upper horn and mirror it on the otherside, which i think would look damn cool!

So, are these strips going between the maple and lacewood? If so, I think the ebony would look best. If they are going between the lacewood and the purpleheart, I would say padauk- that would give it a real sweet color transition.

Is the oak going to be the top? Do you have pics of it?
