Bit confusing
After reading the thread to this point I find little actual information on how the tone/power of a slop shoulder, by it's very shape ,is supposed to differ from a square shoulder.
It seems the talked about differences here lie in the size of the lower body and the depths at either end of the the body. Those apparently vary from maker/model independently from the presence of the shoulder shape.
If what every builder I have asked about the effect of a cut-away on tone has said, that there is no noticeable effect, then the slight difference in the volume of the upper body due just to the shape would be even less impactful.
So seems to me this is really about looks.
