Guild F-212-XL dovetail

[Bob Gaddis]

Does anybody know how far in from the edge of the fingerboard I need to drill to hit the edge of the dovetail for a neck re-set, so I can follow the joint down at an angle. I'm going to use a homemade heat stick to loosen the joint. If that fails, I can always use steam.
