So I've finally sorted the top of the headstock and fixed the truss rod channel problem at the same time.Originally Posted by ThreeBbass
Hi Simon,
I've got a Warwick nut that I'm using with this one. I removed the old nut and all the material behind it, but left myself a small problem by exposing the channel that the truss rod runs in. I'll probably just put a small piece of veneer over the spot and try to make it invisible.
I ended up getting a thin piece of maple veneer to cover the whole area and then sandwiched it with some foam packing material between the clamps to force it to follow the shape of the headstock.
It worked pretty well, although there was a small split in the veneer, which I filled with TimberMate.

After
Now for the sanding and finishing part ...
