Angled neck pockets

To those who are doing it, what's your method? What's the inclination used?

Here's a video in case someone don't know what it is:

Looks like he placed the whole body on top of a tapered shim, yes?

There is no set angle unless you build a standard instrument or are a parts assembler. In the custom world, you have different customers with different preferences for number of frets and type of bridge, thus making it a variable, and the necessity of an adaptable jig.

That being said, I use my tenoning jig which has a 3 screw adjustment and long clamping tails to make this a very simple procedure.
