I would call it sexy--to hell with the forward/reverse stuff....

Believe me, that pickguard was needed to really make it look good because of a f*** up I made with the routing of the pickup cavity.

I understand, but why the horrible shape??
The lower horn doesn't follow the shape of the bass. And none of the curves have any tension, they are wobbly.
