Peter, i'll take a look into that book... although i am not building this from scratch.. this is more of a remodel.. but any info is useful info..
the neck is a 24 3/4" Scale 13° neck 22 frets, which is what my les paul single cut has.. so i figured the position of the TOM and the stop should be about the same.. i am going to have to route the pocket, i guess.. A neck pocket angle of 1-1/2 to 3 degrees is required for the TOM...
