Another first for me on this build is adding a veneer to the headstock. I didn't have any luck finding any spalted maple veneers, but I got my hands on some beautiful ebony. My plan is to darken it to match the rest of the neck/headstock. I have a questions about the veneer though. It's just short of 3.5mm thick, which seems thick to me. What would be a good thickness to aim for? The posts on the tuners are not very tall, so I don't want to add much more density to the headstock. Below are a couple pictures for reference, thanks in advance for any advice!
