Threaded inserts witha contoured heal?

Just as the title states, is it possible to install threaded inserts onto the neck if i'm using a body with a contoured heal?

Yep:

The screw heads will always be parallel to the back of the neck, rather than the plate - whether they're bolts into inserts or normal screws. The guitar pictured also has an angled pocket, which exaggerates the effect.

Great, time to install some inserts!
