Les Paul Cherry neck: Touch-up or refinish?
The neck on this Epiphone Les Paul was repaired by the local Guitar Center, but they left it ragged and the customer asked me to fix the finish. It appears to be very thick poly (not lacquer) and the crack has some glue left over from the repair. I would love to be able to just fill and finish the cracks, but I’m afraid it will be near impossible to match, so I’m inclined to strip and refinish the whole neck.
Advice??

Have you used the Fill N Finish powder stains? When used with the ultra thin FNF, its not too hard to “sneak up” on the actual color by doing layers of lighter color that eventually get you to the right tint. a little red, a very little black, a little brown, more red, etc. it gets painted on with art cotton swabs that look like q tips, or with makeup application sticks. Happy to vidoe chat about this via whatever platform you prefer (Whatsapp, etc.).

Thanks Al,
I use the FNF liquids, but not powdered stain. I’d welcome a 1-on-1 if you’re game. Whatsapp works well (+1-253-376-0116). I’m on Pacific time.
Looking forward to talking!
