Yep ... I've shaped the neck pocket, but I think it needs a bit more work to make it right.
One small detail to fix is the spot where I put the dowel ... thinking that I'll take a bit of the timber when I fit the battery box and make a plug to insert and hide the spot.

Yep, like Wokka Said, remove that corner with your dowel fill and take the profile in a line following your Neck Plate edge about where that shadow falls, then blend it in towards the curve of the lower horn. I guess it depends on how much work you want to do, you can put a bigger radius on that corner and fill the end of the dowel hole to achieve a similar effect without having to take off a lot of wood.

Nice looking kit and keen to see how it all comes together.
