One advantage of the bevel cutaway is that you're not bending a possibly-hard-to-replace side.

Re: Cutaway "pocket" building tips
I did this one for a couple of reasons.
-I thought it looked cool and took it as a challenge (it was!).
-I already had an order for a cutaway guitar and the customer was excited about the look, so this was my chance to give it a try.
I don't know if the extra air in the guitar compared to a more standard cut away makes much difference, but in this case I'd say probably not because the guy who is getting the guitar plays plugged in and puts one of those feedback damping sound hole covers in it.
I didn't charge extra for this one, but if anybody else wants one from me, they'll have to pay for it!
