Nice save Sam
It would be best to cut it back smooth with 320 grit before you go in with the next phase, otherwise those pesky dimples will only get worse.

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Sam you still may need some filler. See how it looks after it cures and you have sanded it

Looks like I'm getting another can of primer.
The edges of the headstock sanded through much too easily.
The dimpled area needs some more to fill it properly. The last gasp of the previous can helped a lot, but it still needs a bit more.
No rush.

So I did get another can of primer. Did a few coats, and some extra attention at the edges where it sanded through too quickly.
Gave it another sanding today, was happy with the result so I've just sprayed the first top (not top) coat, an Arctic White nitro.

Nice stuff Sam, today is perfect spraying weather! The paint should cure up faster over the next few days!
Arctic white nitro coats are going on nicely.
Had a coat that ran a little, sanded it back. Now I'm spraying sides and front/back with a 15 minute break between them so the overlap doesn't build up too much.

Here's the next shot in the series. I actually took this a month ago in a hurry. Didn't realise it was blurry until I looked at it now.
The nut arrived in the post this week. A TUSQ nut shaped to fit by DB. Goes in the box of hardware waiting for the final installation.
