Would this not be a good reason to use a bridge patch? The hardwood bridge glued with the grain at 90 degrees to the top generates a stress area at it’s ends due to the uneven forces. The bridge patch creates a 3 ply layer that is more balanced and if it is run past the bridge ends supports that area where it is most likely to crack. An alternative might be 2 small patch’s just over the ends of the bridge, rather than one continuous one. You mention issue with tops cracking beside the bridge.

Does "the top" mean the highest point of the sound (front) board around the bridge, as the area around it is slightly raised? Does "the edge" mean the edge around the periphery of the sound board? Best Regards, Ken Subject: Question on “Position of neck and guitar body”

Hi Bert,

I don’t understand clearly what you mean by “dome (maximum height of the top above the edge.”

Does “the top” mean the highest point of the sound (front) board around the bridge, as the area around it is slightly raised?

Does “the edge” mean the edge around the periphery of the sound board?

Best Regards,
Ken

If instead you have the large bout next to the fingerboard then the guitar supports itself on the left thigh without the need for any other support and is very comfortable.

I looked for something like your diagram "Sound level as a function of the height of the saddle" but rest of info just superb. Great and a very useful article!
