If i were doing a repair like this i would hide the repair by making the heal a little darker & the repaired section .You often do this on a new guitar anyway.Just add some Mahogany stain or and some black to the coulor you are useing.Bill.'''''''''''''''''''''

If I were doing this, I would be tempted to mask off the back of the head following the "V" shape at the base of the head, then spray the back of the head with black lacquer and leave the back of the neck alone.<br />
<br />
It won't be accurate to the look of the guitar but it will unify the back of the head. A shaker can of black lacquer from your local hardware store will do it. Just make sure the masking tape it tight to the line you want and resist the impulse to spray it on in one thick coat.<br />

ok so i have applied some finish to the neck,<br />
apart from where the fretboard binding meets the neck wood, it turned out ot too bad, ot sure how i will tidy those edges up.<br />
nearly time to put the nut on, and re-string this baby.<br />

i will post some pics of the final assembly when done.
