FWIW, a guitar is not a circle. So a circular radius seems out of place to me. I create my solera for top building with an egg shaped dome in it. From the Spanish style of building, I get the concept of fitting the fingerboard flush with the top and having the top conform to fit perfectly - sans fillet (wedge) - for neck angle / fingerboard extension / saddle height.
Why use a circular dome?? Because it is easier...??
Why use a wedge?? Because you need a wedge filler because a circular dome was used.
So is the circular dome shape easier or not...?? Is it better or not?? If it requires a wedge is it making it easier or more problematic...??
Or, you can just make a custom shaped top dome that fits, and that doesn't require a wedge.
Your choice.
