I know that top radiusing has been covered in other posts but I haven't seen the answer to this question. I'm working from a Martin saprano plan and it does not indicate any radius to the top or the back, though the back is arched fore and aft. Should the top be radiused and if so, how? The only braces on the top are at the waist just below the sound hole and in the upper bout with only a bridge plate in the lower bout. It hardly seems that a bridge plate would hold a radius.
