Most of my issues have been mentioned. The control pad thing just doesn't work for me. I think the carve on the top is too severe for that. The whole body just flows so smoothly, and the there's this thing sticking out. We'll see, at least it's different. The inlay I'd say no way. I'm not a big fan of inlay unless it just works with the guitar. I personally would have passed on the stars on your first design. Side dots tell me everything I need to know, so unless the inlay REALLY works with a design I just don't dig it.
A couple things that haven't been mentioned. I'm worried about your neck pocket, there doesn't appear to be much support. Even if you rout all the way into the neck pickup pocket (not enough heel for that I think) there's still not much gluing surface. I've gotten away with small, but that looks a little too far for me. Also, the pickup rings. I know it's hard to get things like that clean looking, I've tried before. I just wouldn't put them on that instrument. It's frustrating to hear, but I really think something that small could detract big time from the guitar. People pick up on little things and latch onto them sometimes.
Great looking work BTW, can't wait to see this one finished.
