    Hi Ponch, I trust the tuners will hide plugs on the rear of the headstock?

    Liking the natural nude finish.

    So Waz, being the the type of person I am there is a very small piece of plug visible on one of the bottom tuners. I was going to let this go but now on a mission to get this build as good as I can get. I've agonised over the solution to this and have since located a nice piece of flame maple veneer from my stash that will cover the back of headstock & do the job. Just working on the template shape then a bit of thickness adjustment on the back of the headstock.

    Here are some other guitars with back of headstock painted or veneered to give you the general idea of where I'm heading with this
