It would be easy for me to make a metal plate to place between the neck and body joint... or shound i be using hard wood. what is the best material for this?

Thanks.

What kind of guitar is it? When you say the neck was not seated right, do you mean crooked (as in looking straight down on it and it is not in line with the bridge), or not level with the body (as in looking from side on, it bends backward compared to the body being level)? Some models are designed to have a certain degree of back-angle on the neck (not to be confused with relief).
