OK, since you opened the invitation. JK, but I do have a counter-opinion.
A lot of times in life and on this forum in particular, people are told to disregard what others think, 'as long as you like it'. However, there's nothing wrong with asking for others' perspectives, and no shame in using others as sounding boards to clarify one's own thoughts.
Somebody draws up a plan for a guitar, and shows it to another person for their opinion. They say "Jeez, dude, that top horn is way disproportionate. I think the design looks really off balance." Well now the designer has something to think about, and perhaps the viewer's opinion is valid. He shows the same design to a few more people-- one or two absolutely love it, but another few keep voicing the same concern about the top horn.
Does he have to modify it to suit the people who don't like it? Of course not, but if he's canvassed for opinions of knowledgable people, it's worth at least considering their advice. Gibson didn't ditch the SG just because Les Paul didn't really like it. But they DID end up successfully marketing... the Les Paul.
