If it's a keeper, don't go doing major structural changes

I certainly wouldn't recommend cutting a way the heel on Gibson Les Paul. Gibson are not known for quality neck joints in terms of a tight fit, you may find gaps between the body and the neck as you cut away wood from the body.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

you(your chosen luthier) could play it safe and only remove a small amount. But is it worth doing half a job?

If they're highly recommended, they'd recognise all the potential issues, and run a mile before they lost that coveted highly recommended status!

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Basically I was going to upgrade the pickups and possibly install callaham hardware, so was wondering whether a small mod like this was possible.
After the success of speccing my own Bravewood strat, getting a custom made Les Paul type like a Feline would definitely appeal, but there's no way I can scratch together the corn, and I can't get rid of the R7 for lots of reasons. It's a crazily resonant and lovely guitar (It was the pick of between 20 and 30 reissues when I got it).
My playing has improved a lot (that's not saying much) since I got the R7 and I'm spending more time at 'the dusty end' hence the interest in a wee shave.
thanks as ever for the input.
I bought a PRS Bernie, gutted the electronics and put SD WLH set in it. Its my main stage guitar. Don't kill your guitar. Sell it or keep it as it is, and buy something that works for you.
You're talking about a non reversible mod that has a strong possibility of ruining the guitar.
I felt the same about my Les Paul's so I saved and bought an axcess - you can also have bonus of choosing a Floyd Rose model at the same time
