Now if I just had money.......

It's a sculptural work that signifies precisely the non-being of what it represents; the suggestion of performance psychologically involves the musician with the process of creation, provoking instinctive responses to the zeitgeist of the assemblage which centers on an interest in the universality of our biological make-up and landscape viz a viz the inner vibrations of our souls made visceral, combined with the collective sense of the sublime.  
 
This guitar examines hesitation as part of the process of decision-making, where the object is neither the point of objecthood nor the art-object. It is rather the oblique object of the creator's intention to sublimate nature while simultaneously exploring form as a vehicle for the highest form of expression.

Ed; that makes sense to me, but what happens when the drummer comes in?

Forest,  
Thanks for admiring my design.  I hope that the added details of the production guitars will not detract from the overall visual impact.  The truth of the matter is I kept the first one simple in order to not have wasted a lot of effort in case it did not sound good.  Thank goodness it passed the test!

Forest,  
Thanks for admiring my design.  I hope that the added details of the production guitars will not detract from the overall visual impact for you.  I think they are going to be stunning.  The details on the inside alone are something special.  The truth of the matter is I kept the first one simple in order to not have wasted a lot of effort in case it did not sound good.  Thank goodness it passed the test!

I'll say this - it definitely looks Alembic Trevor. Since there hasn't been (?) an Alembic acoustic up until your prototype, I can also admire that you had this mindset - Not wanting to create a boutique guitar that had a unique and incomprehensible sound like so many on the market today...
 
That may seem backward to some, but setting out to replicate a certain tonal voice from any acoustic instrument is extremely difficult. To do it consistently in multiple instruments is harder still. Nice job!  
 
I'll be on the lookout for that 00-parlor-size. In mahogany, and adi-spruce. And wineburst. And mini-Classico headstock.  =)

Form follows function...
 
...the purest definition of good design.
 
And, if you can strategically add a little understated embellishment without detracting from either the form or the function - you will have an extraordinary design.
 
Now, who does that remind you of - ?
