Better! IMO I think I would bump out the top horn maybe a 1/2" and then shrink the bottom a touch as well/ I really like the guard - I think its a done deal. However, I really don't like the angled pickups and the angled controls just don't work for me either - never liked them on any bass. Sorry, I guess I'm just Mr. Right Angle
Still, I think this is a viable concept
Oh, let me know when you are working on a Craftsman bass - nohting would be better than quatersawn white oak in a fumed finish
Also, where are finding the large graph paper? Artist supply store, fabric store?
