I remember reading stuff on Frets.com Frank Fords site, for those who have not seen it check it out. He had a particularly interesting one on repairing a damaged bridge off a Santos Hernandez flamenco guitar, what I found interesting is its flat and he re glues it on flat. I think purposely building in a 3mm dome that will grow under tension is probably misleading information as far as flamenco guitars are concerned, probably trickled over from classical guitar builds. After experimenting with different designs and plans over the last few years, domed, flat top Reyes, the one design element that I did decide on was a top under string tension with 2>mm of doming. Having someone way more experienced like Anders post this leads me to believe I was on the right track on this particular design element. For those contemplating changing from a 3 - 5 mm domed top to a flatter top remember you will need to alter your neck angle or you will never be able to get the guitar set up.
