benros -> RE: top doming, neck angle and relief (Sep. 3 2016 20:57:10)

after what have been said so far, it seems to me, that flattop and domed top flamencas are two different approaches, from which the domed is the more oldschool traditional style, the flattop the modern approach. big dome without neckangle as the one extreme, flattop with big neckangle, the other one and in between mixtures of both (slightly domed tops plus moderate neck angles). the domed top flamencas which i have seen so far where also much thinner build, very light guitars (all not much more than 1kg weight), also mostly smaller dimensioned and with very deep tuned body resonance (zero tone? i dont know the right word in english), the best were at 'e'. john, sure, your right, what is too much depends on personal preference. for me, too much buzzing means, that i cant play the guitar with moderate attack without buzzing. echi, how much neckangle do you need with your slightly domed top? do you taper the fingerboard? what are your setup outcomes? tom, you build flattops with equally thicknessed fingerboards. how much neckangle do you need, to get the right setup? do you build without any relief at the basstringside of the fingerboard? you suggested, that the flattop/modern approach is more affine to what guitarists look for today? what, would you say, are the main differences of both building styles in terms of sound and playability? what are the advantages of the flattop flamencas over the domed ones? is there someone out there you builds with more than 3mm dome? thank you all?
