Since I've got two gurus on this thread, I might as well fire away my questions...

Hi All,
Seeking General Advice here.
Short question
should I MOD it now, would that limit my options in the future?

Acrylic. Mirotone cleat spray.
I polished on the edges first and left a few days. Maybe I didn’t wipe off the bit that went on the front and back and left it for 5 days.

Found this after a couple of clean coats of mirotone clear spray. Appear to be around the edges near the binding. I tried to polish it out but with no prevail.

I did buy a neck stain and thought it went a lot more yellow, but as it cures it darked a bit. So wait a few days.
