    It might just be a case of it binding on the corner radii, or something similar in the bac of the pocket, so just check for rough spots or rubs in the back of it before you do any serious worrying.
    It does sit right back in the pocket, there was a slight rise where the router hadn't done the job dead square but that is out now and still sits to me too high, leveling that bit in the pocket hasn't made any noticable difference. The 12th fret distances are only a couple of mm out, but noticed a slight bow in the neck which i know I can straighten with the nut. Putting a straight edge along the neck to the bridge I calculate the bottom of the bridge will be raised about 5mm, The Bottom of the fretboard is sticking up around 3 mm, excuse the crappy pic, I need a new phone....
