    I also added a silver edge to the truss rod cover just to break things up a little.



    So far, I added two coats of intensifier, as well as applied a small amount on top of my black stain under the heel of the neck. This was just to see what it done to the finish. I'll leave it for a few more days, but so far there has been no reaction between the two products.

    I really like that logo Zandit, looks perfect against the grain back drop on that headstock.
