    The way i do it by tapering the heel of the neck, People do both ways with no troubles so i guess you can do it either way.

    an angled pocket is the way i do it -
    theres a tutorial on doing it on the PGF foorum - cant find it now - tired
    basically you set the pocket template up on wedges to give you the angle and away you go - a bit tricky but easy if done carefully

    Damn, now THAT's now you do it.. Thanks Dayvo, top find.

    I'm contemplating putting my Rhoads Cutaway build on hold to build a Les Paul for my mother first, this is gonna come in real handy.
