<p>Thanks for your comment Ed. I think it may just be the distortion of the picture. I checked it and it is symmetrical around the center line at the waist.</p>

<p>It appears that the left and right areas of the3 waist are different. to make it look more balanced (if that is what you are after) the waist has to be the same on both sides - symmetrical. In fact, to be balanced you should be able to flip the body over and have it still fit the symmetrical mold. It all depends on what your goals are.</p>

<p>I know the feeling , Jack. One of the reasons I doubt I could do this for a living is that I often put projects away for a while so I have fresh eyes when I pick them up again. I spend a LOT of time just looking, touching and thinking before I actually working on an instrument. </p>

<p>I managed to reform it without completely re-doing the side. I guess it's acceptable now. Comments?</p>

<p>Cedar Creek will make a custom case for any guitar. I just had one made for a Nick Lucas Special - the early version with the round lower bout that was 4-3/4" thick. Fits perfectly</p>
<p>I agree - unbalanced. </p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>I concur with Ned. Unbalanced. The first thing I thought was: half Danelectro / half Drednaught. Maybe the world needs one?</p>
