What Dean N said-
Pretty wood there,
only replace the center laminate.

Last ditch effort before doing something drastic: I am assuming there is a dip in that section where it blew through. If you have any shavings or wood dust from that center wood (walnut?) try smoothing over that section with that wood dust and super glue. Feather it into the adjacent areas of that dark stripe and then sand it back down best you can to suit. It's not an invisible repair but the tone will come close to matching, especially if you plan on oiling the rest of the neck or finishing in a clear coat. You will also have to clean out your truss rod channel at that point as well. I have used wood dust and superglue for years for stuff like this and it can be a lifesaver at times. If you go this route, remember eye and breathing protection. Cheers

I think I might give that a try. Thanks

I would tape inside the TR channel with painters tape so the wood/glue mix has a backing of some sort. Apply the superglue in the area you want it, then pour the wood dust on top. Try to contour it best you can with some scrap wood or popsicle sticks. It takes some finesse because the glue mixture might want to stick to your leveling "tool", whatever it might be. And the mixture will set up very quickly so you won't have much time to contour. Once you get the mixture leveled out best you can, if you see any "dry" spots where it looks like the wood dust is just sitting on top, add a little more glue and level out. Once it sets up after several hours (might take longer depending on how much you had to use), sand to your profile and continue from where you left off in the build. Oh, and remember...super glue loves to jump out and stick to your hands...proceed with caution
