If you've shaped the headstock then you may still have the offcuts lying around. If you haven't shaped the headstock, then now would be the time to do it and use a piece to fill the gap. It's not going to be an invisible fix, but it shouldn't be that obvious.
Hi Simon. I do have the pieces...yes pieces....that small chip broke into 2 on the way out. It'll likely be impossible to get those back into place properly. Using a piece from the headstock is a great idea....didn't think of that, so thanks.
