Just gonna drop this here. An idea I had for a while and just photoshopped together. Kinda cool. I like how the pickguards blend at the control plate area.

The bass tuners look a bit tricky to operate. How about a lefty bass neck?

SNAP. did these 3 or 4 years back and was sitting on them for as and when I ever built it. I prefer my take on unifying the butt ends but your's will get built quicker ;)

Also: it makes more sense to me to have the bass on top for several reasons:

1. The longer scale means ease of playing would be benefited by having it slung higher up the chest. this is a concern for the Handily-challenged like myself.

2. It looks aesthetically better to have the longer neck on top

3. I prefer the way the bass bridge lines up with the control plate at the bottom.

4. if you follow my design then the way the guitars are staggered might place the back strap button marginally further back (when centralized on the back curve) thus balancing the weight better.

5. The wang bar won't get in the way of your natural playing position on the bass
