The Siminoff book describes the method for this V joint and dowels to attach the neck. He puts the neck angle in the body half (mortise?) by tilting the body 6degrees when he cuts the V on the bandsaw. I wonder why he doesn't incorporate the angle in the end of the neck heel,as it would seem easier to cut in my opinion. I noticed on one of the Rosa String works videos that Gerry Rosa appears to have the angle on the neck heel, although he doesn't show the cutting of it or mention it.
What do those of you who use this joint do?
Thanks Mike.
