  Hi Brian
  yeah i've seen the video a long time since it's Jim Faris AKA jimfrets - in the video he's showing neck angle your right but in you description on the post you said
  
  "I can then place a shim under the neck side to give it some angle back to lower the action some, any thoughts? "
  
  neck angle and string action are not the same thing - neck angle creates clearance between the strings and Box and action means the height of the strings off the fretboard thats why i said in my previous post altering the neck angle won't set the action - action is set by the bridge and nut

  Hey juju....this is the link to where I am getting my idea for angling the neck back.

  Hi Brian , i cant see how shimming the neck at either end will lower the action - what you need to do is lower the nut or bridge either or both , like ted says placing a shim under the butt end will give you a neck angle which will create more playing clearance between the strings and the box
  but i would not cut the neck at all that will make it prone to looking like a bananna once you tune the strings up ! then you will have serious action problems
  hope this helps
