The brackets work for a heel brace just as well as a hell brace as I wrote here.
I did not want to chance the sharp edges of a metal corner on top when strumming. This box is big enough that it isn't an issue. I also think it is better visually to have them on the bottom with this graphic.

Thanks for the comment, Order99.
Surprisingly, this has become my favorite one to play, too.
That neck is going Nowhere! I'll bet it doesn't shift in a century...
Thanks, UJ.

And the brackets look cool there.
I've used those brackets under the neck too. I like the bottom corner. And the bare top corner.
