back in the early 2000's before the current offset revival took hold, I drew up several compact assymetrical and offset designs. The goal was to build a more ergonomic contoured 24 fret body shape that balanced well sitting or standing, and better addressed neck dive on chambered bodies. This shape is a great middle ground to traditional double cutaways and radically offset shapes.
