It’s my first time building a guitar and I need advice.

Is this wood knot too close to the neck pocket? Should I be concerned about the wood being too weak near a high-tension area of the guitar? It's poplar wood in the middle, if that matters.

Instead, should I just flip the template and live with a knot in the body of the guitar? (I would rather not do it this way, if possible).

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
