Also the sanding of the veneer around the edge of the body was a bit uneven
This was taken care of by carefully sanding the edges of the body with a sanding drum to bring them back to the veneer edge.
Looks like the truss rod is trying to escape
Don't think it will be a problem (please correct me if I'm wrong).
First step with the headstock was to remove the veneer, came off pretty easy and sanded to tidy up. Thought I might as well straighten up the tuner holes, they weren't quite in a straight line. Dowelled up and redrilled.
