The delivery man today bought along a [insert brand] Single Cut electric guitar today (with set neck construction), which I have a suspicion the neck angle is a bit off.
Having a look at the neck, the last side marker on the bass side past the body join is pretty much touching the top of the body. Comparing the binding by the neck on the part which meets the body on the bass side to the treble side by the cutaway at the 14th fret there is definitely a greater visible amount of binding on the bass side than the treble side.
For my fretting hand, it does feel like there is a slight imbalance to the angle of the neck with the treble side of the neck is slightly twisted in position to where it should be.
A difficult to question to ask, but is my description of the issues above symptomatic of a neck set with the angle into the pocket which is off by a few degrees?

The description makes me think full width tenon, where the fretboard sits on top of the neck wood, not the body. I have seen some very costly singlecuts where the binding went into the neck join slightly. It even does it on my recent les Paul build by a small fraction of a mm. This in itself isn't an issue. But being deeper on the bass than treble is. To judge that you need to measure the corners of the fretboard to see how high they fit.
