Every now and then i sketch out something similarish. But this one loses the all important strap horn for balance. The other feature it took me a while to realize i was leaving out of my sketches is the leg hump.  while the strat might appear to us to be one of many wierd designs that just became familiar by sheer repetition, it (probably accidentally) check checks off a number of important functions besides looking cool. They are 1. upper horn strap button 2. forearm rest, 3. knee rest, 4. Leo fender's fortuitous insight into the future shape of americans in coming generations.  The lower horn is partly cosmetic, but it deftly connects the knee bump back to the neck without hampering upper fret access.
 
The rear strap button is nearly in line with the front strap button.  Makes me wonder if this offsets the shorter upper horn from a balance perspective.
 
Same here ... thinking it's like the Ovation Breadwinner, one of my favorites, though tragically unpopular.
