You could paint the binding white. If you do, probably best to mask it off and paint it all. I presume that you are going to gloss over the fretboard, so the lacquer will seal it all in. Any paint will need to be compatible with the lacquer.

Thanks Simon. I did think about that but did wonder if it was a kosher fix. Got a white enamel paint pen coming for fixing chips in a bathtub, could work.
Currently sandwiching maple veneers to wing pieces to match original headstock thickness then some marquetry to finish the look.
Next step neck setting.
...and more sanding
I've used Tippex before (typewriter correction fluid) to fill in gaps where binding meets.
That should do it...
Headstock constructed. Now to sand back flat and apply veneer and shape at the back near the nut
Headstock's looking good. Finger's crossed it all holds together.
Don’t say that😩
Gutsy work man! How did your key the extensions to the head, did you dowel?

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
No, but I think I may have to retro drill from either side as well as sandwiching front and back with veneer.
