Default a finish question and a yamaha question

When repairing a small dent on the top of a guitar deep enough for the wood to be exposed when you try to match the color with a lacquer stick (like from stew-mac) the end grain absorbs more color making it appear darker. So the center is the right color but the borders are darker. Any way to avoid this?

The other question, on a Yamaha s50a designed for both steel and classical strings apparently there are silk and steel strings available which I am not familiar with. It has no truss rod. What would you all recommend for strings?

thanks, Jeff B
