Well I've used them and they are great. They are expensive and worth it. The clear is much better than the Watco Nitro I get at the hardware store (goes on smoother, hardens quicker, smells better).
You won't even notice the putty filled area once painted, so don't mess with it.
Fretboard sanding is done using very fine sandpaper (800+) wrapped around a soft eraser (well, that's how I was schooled at doing it.)

Heheh, well to "restore" it would mean it was once that way... to Modify you can use sandpaper and a block of wood or an electric sander, not really enough to saw off is there? Be careful to sand perpendicular to the headstock face or you'll go too deep at the bottom. It's easy if you go slow, getting the nice edge radius is the hard part, as it's gonna be done freehand (unless some experienced guy like Boris or Jack rings in with helpful words.
Good luck, I'm impressed with your wood. (...well I don't mean it like that
)
