The main problem with relief, is that what is important, is the relief that a guitar will have with strings of the tension that a player will be using. Not the amount of relief it´ll have without frets and strings. So the final judgement will be with strings on. You need to know how much your guitars neck flexes with strings on or you´ll have correct. I´ve built with and without reinforcement and all my necks have a small flex. If I did what TB suggests 0,5 - 0,7mm relief at the 7th fret), I would end up with to much relief and players using capo a lot , such as the ones accompanying cante, would not be happy. But what works for me, might be wrong for someone else. As with every aspect of guitarmaking, there are no fixed "golden" rules, plans or whatever. You have to find your own way.
