First Flamenco Guitar

Hi,

After two classical guitars, now I want to build my first flamenco guitar. I have spruce for the top, and Cyprus for back and sides.

I have some Questions for you:

1 - I don't have any plan for a good flamenco guitar. Can I find online? Can someone share with me?

2 - My classical solera with 3mm dome will be usefull?

3 - In classical guitar the neck head has 14 degrees angle and in flamenco?

Thanks in advance

I depends on what you want to do. Some people build flat tops, some build with a domed solera. I prefer the solera after trying flat tops for many years. I think a preformed dome in the top improves the right hand response but that's just my opinion and worth what it cost you
