Here are the photos that I promised....

It measures 9.5mm to the crown of each of those last few frets. Action is still a little bit high but no more than 1mm and wouldn't recommend sanding base of neck pocket to drop such a small amount. On my 2 Tele builds they needed between 5mm - 7mm to be sanded off to drop the level and also help get action down low enough.
