This to me seems odd.. has anybody used this method?
I'm leaning towards getting a couple radius dishes and adjusting the plans
If anyone has any thoughts please let me know

I posted a complete CAD drawing pdf for a small body 14 fret slot head that you might want to look at. The top and back plates are slightly radiused, and I think it contributes to the tone and volume. Building flat and counting on string tension to pull an arch doesn't seem like very sound engineering practice to me.

I've played a lot of instruments over my 55 years of playing time and this one is something special.
