The Nealon Equation

y  =  (A*sin(B*x+C) + D*sin(E*x+F) + G*sin(H*x+I) + J*sin(K*x+L)) *

 (M + N*x + O*x^2 + P*x^3 + Q*x^4) * atan(R*x) * atan(S*(BL-x))

Body mold is from the Martin Company.  I laid the mold onto a piece of graph paper and drew the outline.  One hundred ninety eight data points later, voilà:
