Just got a Roasted Maple Tele Neck from Warmoth delivered today, my dream specs with SS frets and boatneck profile.
I noticed that on the back of the headstock 3 of the tuner holes have some chipping around them, 2 are worse than the 3rd. See pics below.
Do I need to be worried about this at all, I know the roasted maple is a bit more brittle than standard maple. Is this an issue, or will it just be covered up and be fine when tuners are installed? Should I notify Warmoth?
I'd appreciate some advice from those who have ordered/built with a roasted neck before, as this is my first time.
