a. This was a kitchen table job - I had a spare hour and used whatever tools were to hand.
b. I’m categorically no luthier, carpenter, etc.
However...
I basically carefully chiselled out an oblong from the board, separated the board from a scrap neck, cut a replacement section from that, shaped it to fit and glued and clamped it. Tonight I drop-filled a few gaps with rosewood dust and superglue, then cleaned and oiled the board.

It’t not the prettiest, but you can’t feel the replacement.
There are a number of things I’d do differently next time (like doing it in my workshop, instead of in the kitchen with blunt spoons), but it’s another job I’d now feel happy to tackle (should the occasion arise).

These things can go for up to 57p if they’re in proper original condition (as you probably well know). With that mod you’d be lucky to get £57 now.
Thing is they were a major step up from the woolies top 20 guitar I started on .
