Could I use these on a Contoured Heel?

[Heft]

I'd like to use recessed ferrules with a contoured heel, would these be the screw to use?

You could use 1 1/4 for the two shorter screws or 1 1/2 for the two longer screws for a Warmoth contoured heel. Effectively, each screw is a 1/4" shorter compared to when using a mounting plate. Though, you might want to look at #8 screws versus the #10 screws linked if using a Warmoth or Fender neck. There is no need to use a larger #10 unless the holes are stripped or something.
