Pores in the wood grain on Martin neck
I would like to seek an opinion on whether to fill natural pores in the wood grain on the neck or not. They don't bother me. You wouldn't feel them when playing and are more like small shallow dings. I am sending in my guitar for high gloss on the back and sides and was wondering if I should fill out the pores or not. I'm also thinking they might not turn out right if filled, because some parts are black and brown and it's satin finish. Thank you.

You are having the back and sides refinished - stripped and re-sprayed with high-gloss material? But, plan to leave the neck (and head) with the original satin, un-filled finish?
Generally, the pore-filling process requires a top coat - more finish be applied over the pore filler, then levelled and buffed. If you are not planning on having the neck re-finished, the answer is, "No." Those doing the refinishing would know this.

Then no, you can't just fill the pores without subsequent top coats.

You can buff and it will look shiny but not to the level of a guitar that was sprayed with gloss lacquer.

The top is buffed gloss. Will I get the same level of shine? Thanks
