Here is a two stage jig I built several years ago. The top piece that's holding the neck is set at an angle and can be used by itself to angle the end of the neck and cutting the curved face that butts the body. The pivoting table allows tilting of the body and the neck for cutting the tapered tenon and the mortise. I went back to doing them by hand for a while but may do my next one with the jig. This jig was built for doing tapered dovetail joints but can be set up for a straight/tapered joint. Both jigs are adjustable.
