I had it all drawn up, to scale and had everything working and thought I was just making minor adjustments.
I could still do it exactly to plan, having a raised fingerboard; But I thought that recessing the edge would be easier.
The edge is an original edge, I think it's found on some RG570's/550's and they've all got un-angled necks and are recessed but I just couldn't find any information on the pocket sizes.
Hopefully this has cleared things up,
Again, thanks for the replies
