What's the instrument called? The outline doesn't look like that of a standard guitar. I could swear I've seen it before...

Edit: Now I see that your tops don't have these additional "corners". What are they for?

They’re all guitars.

From left to right: OM, slope shoulder OO, slope shoulder dread.

Those “corners” are tabs for machining. Location references for other jobs later on.
