I've walnutted the back of the neck. and relicked the back of the neck so that the back of the fretboard area is still maple.
I intend to try and Amber this a little I've started this by using soem wudtone aged gloss, but may switch to good old shellac to get that old warm Amber look to it. Certainly the Maple and the walnut contrast too far, so I want to soften that a bit.
I've deliberately left the colour taper long at the headstock end as I want to hide the scarffed neck joint.
I still have to make a decision on the face of the headstock. whether to do it Black or just amber it down.
I'd like to put some pearloid gothic decals on it and it might look a bit pale agains the Ambered maple
