How deep is the guitar at the neck block now? Will it fit in a standard case? The route you chose is just fine, but there are other things to consider...like the depth of the case this guitar will go in. I make my dreadnoughts a bit deeper than standard...about .25" and they fit in a standard case just fine, so you are probably good to go.

Hi Tony,

I definitely thought of that as well. I will measure the exact depth but I believe
it's a couple 16ths shy of 4". Since, i haven't ordered the neck yet I was afraid
if I sanded too much then it would compromise the geometry of the angle and
God knows what else.

Anyway, thank you for the input and I will consider cutting the heel next time....
