When the first rout and the second rout converge there is an angle change. I am away from the shop until Sunday, but I will take some photos of this being done, and the resulting v for you guys.
The v is infact there, as a byproduct of the two routs.
This is how I have always done it, and I use a pin router with fixtures.
I'm sorry it took me this long to realize what you were talking about, but his v is in fact there.
I follow you, but in order to put the "V" that the experts are referring to with the intersection point being between the volume and tone pots then I don't think it is the one you're talking about which I believe is the transition between the surface parallel to the back and the angled route. This transition falls beyond all of the pots.
