Ok Mike I had to eyeroll at this one because if we are going to be sniping with accusations of conformity I’m going to have to step up pics of my SBVs again 
It’s not about requiring a double cutaway.
It’s about not unnecessarily sacrificing thumb access to the top of the fretboard for a dubious cetacean-encephalitic aesthetic that not everyone likes.
And that’s just fine. You like it. It’s fine that others don’t. It doesn’t make them conformists.
Attempting to define what I wrote by means of dubious misinterpretation is your prerogative. But it doesn’t change anything.
If you need thumb access that a single-cut doesn’t provide, that’s fine.
I directly replied to @itsratso’s comment:
By cutting away said wood on a single-cut body, the result is by definition a traditional double-cut, à la an electric guitar design, and by extension, a traditional Leo Fender design.
Lastly, I stated that this was my opinion:
Nowhere did I call anyone a conformist or denigrate one’s aesthetic preferences.
Well, apologies if I misread it (quite possible, it’s 3am here. Insomnia is no fun )
No problem. As Eric Burden and The Animals said:
Gorgeous 
ooooooh. Very pretty.
Stradi fretless - NAMM 2026
Raw (open-pore) Poplar top and Pale Moon Ebony fretboard

Sweetwater is getting 14 of these in 6 string version for delivery in December, 9 are spoken for. Sweetwater is also getting 6 of the 5 string versions for November there were 2 spoken for, now there are 3 spoken for.

That is beautiful. Superfluous string and all. 
That’s a really nice shob.

Fantastic instrument, excellent choice
