Thanks for the advice John. I think alot more will become a bit clearer once I have the kit in my hands.

A bit more reading around here is really pointing to keeping the spalted top pretty neutral as you mentioned, I think that will be the way to go.

Testing the off cuts is a great pointer that I will certainly use before committing to anything on the neck.

Cheers,

Steve
