Thanks guys.
I've done a test run on a small bit of maple left from the other guitars headstock and the DT didn't seem bothered.
In the meantime I've grain filled the face of the headstock as I want to spray it gloss black. So much for the 'all natural' concept... But I reckon a solid black headstock will look better.
We'll see.
