I'm thinking of doing a cutaway on my next guitar and need inspiration. I did a quick search and didn't find much but I'm not that good at searching the arcives. Any type would be appreciated.

f you don't get what you need here, just google "cutaway guitar image". Look around on the first page & you'll find "Images" somewhere. Click on that.
I found hundreds to look at. Far more Venetian that Florentine, unfortunately.

You mean, like, more than the 2600+ matches you get when you type "cutaway" in search?

I think I got more like 26,000. Yes I was wanting to look at shapes because some I've seen don't look to good to me. I'll try the google way. Thanks

Here's the standard OLF SJ, with cutaway, in Brazilian with the optional X-braced back. It's my first attempt but I really like it so far.

Here are the three I have done so far. The florentine is much harder than the venetian.

I am a big fan of Bruce Sexauer's cutaway, he modifies it a bit from just being a chunk taken out of the normal shape. I don't have a photo but you can see many examples on his website, http://www.sexauerluthier.com.

That's purty Bill. One question though, how long did it take for your pulse to return to normal after bending that piece of BRW???

It's only wood Bob, it's only wood. So overall about 4 days I'd say. laughing6-hehe
