Found a paper about neck angle on domed top guitars.
Just for math inclined luthiers.
And for visual inclined hands on luthiers.  

I create a stick (straight one).   That mimics mimic the string.  Actually the bottom of the string.
The I locate the position of the bridge, nut, string height over the fretboard at 12’th and on first. 
It depends fret type.   And thickness of great board.   
Just so a can locate the exact position of the neck.  
But I have to first draw the side view of the body.
And then I build my rim and Kerfing and glue on the domed top with brazing.  I normally do a very gradual dome (about 30’).

Keep on sanding.   

Regards
CAI

Hi Cai , In the last meeting you mentioned that you have a guitar amp that you might be selling and I was wondering if you could send me some information about the amp and a photo would be nice . Thanks , Sincerely Alex Arich
