Thats a very important area on a neckthru guitar. If you begin your neck too far into the body you might wind up with hardly any structural wood left, that also depends on where you rout the hole for the neck pickup. You can see that the heel ends (and actual neck starts) about 2" from the body.

I like neck through like that because it feels like there no heel at all.

there should be quite a few pics of soloist heels if you look on the jackson guitars site in the gallery

actually i borrowed it off of the ibanez page, for educational purposes of course, that's why it's in the designs section but i don't think ibanez has it up on their site anymore
