Hello everyone. My name is Rick and I think this may be my first post, at least the first in a long time. I'm working on an Antares acoustic guitar and have to remove the neck. It's giving me some problems. What I need to know if anyone has worked on one of these is this, is the neck dovetailed or dowelled. If you can help me I would very much appreciate it. I've tried drilling through the 14th fret grove and have not found a pocket, but it feels like there is a dovetail under the fretboard. Thank you.

If there is a pocket, it's not under the 14th fret. More like the 15th.

I hit the wrong number. I drilled the 15th.
