I have a Stagg electro acoustic, which is OK but the string tension is WAY too high. Does anyone now if anyones ever made an offset acoustic?

Ibanez made a talman acoustic, they are offset i think... i may be wrong though.

Well, allmost offset. The waist seems symmetrical, but the butt...

My friends got one of them. but I didn't know it was offset-ish I assumed not....

Anyone remember in 1995, Peavey came out with an acoustic with a trem system on it.  I wish I had a picture of the ad for it, it was pretty surreal seeing an acoustic with a whammy bar sticking out the top.  I've always been sorta curious about that model.

Martin made an acoustic with a Bigsby on it as well, I always thought that was curious.

If you put too much tension on the trem wouldn't it snap the soundboard realy easily?

I've got a nice J-200, which is the ultimate acoustic as far as I'm concerned-a real cannon.  That being said, I will grab my cheap-o early 80s Yamaha FG-330 or whatever it's called more often than the Gibbo.  The Yamaha was impossible to play and sounded average at best when I got it.  20 years later, it's really "opened up".  I picked it up about five years ago after it had been sitting in a corner, neglected, for years.  Even with the dead strings on it, it sounded fantastic.
