Not going to mater much getting a tech to figure out the the neck angle if the top radius is not figured out yet.

Are the existing braces radiused? Remove the good X-brace and check for radius. Replicate it.

What does it measure? Replicate or use constant lesser top thickness like every other manufacturer.

Here are some photos of when I rebuilt the top with a friend. If I remember correctly we did not use a radius on the top. Here are some photos along the way. I don’t have this guitar at home or I would confirm it. There is a photo of the underside of the top with the top relief routing that Taylor does on top. I remember my friend who was helping me had never done a relief rout, but it was pretty straightforward. We just had to stop it before the soundhole. The last photo is the final product. It actually sounds better amplified (K&K PWM) than any of my more expensive guitars. I used torrified Sitka spruce on the top. I think the bracing we used was also much better than on the older GS Minis. Contact me by PM if you need to ask anymore questions.
