Yay or Nay?

yay but i'm going to say a short scale fender neck along with a mustang trem would look right

[CROSS_guitars]

Yeah totally. Or at least 24.75"

Here's another design I'm working on.
Well, it's not my design, It's a KAY design but it looks cool and I want to build one.

Damn! That is fantastic!! Can't wait to see that one come to fruition!!

It will also satisfy my need to buy these awesome Kleenex pickups.

This is really cool! Offset the lower bout a bit and the design is yours. It would still retain all it's beauty and balance.

KInd of like this except with correct pickup and neck cavities.

[CROSS_guitars]

wow. that's pretty cool.

[Rgand]

Whether you make one with the offset or not, it'll be a fun project to follow.

How about this?

How about this?

Now you're talking. That will make a fine guitar.

How about this?

It's got vibes of both Gibson Firebirds (non-reverse) and Gibson Marauders, while being it's own thing. I like this a lot.

This, with a pretty good dash of Teisco KL4/ET460 thrown in for good measure, whilst also remaining true to the original Kay. Now all it needs is a good headstock and I'd say that's a hit in the making.
