Hello,
I have an Epiphone LP that had a broken headstock that I replaced. I used an ebony fretboard and decided to also put an ebony overlay on the headstock because I really like the look of the bare ebony. My question is...What kind of finish would you suggest to put over the ebony overlay? Also the ebony fingerboard?
I have stripped the poly off the body/neck and am going to finish it with nitro lacquer. It will be black with a yellow to red to black sunburst on the top. Should I tape off the thin edge of the ebony laminate to keep it bare on the side of the headstock or should I paint right up to the top edge black with the rest of the neck and body?
Here is an image, I have since fretted the board and am ready to paint.
Thank you for your time and help.
