Veneer examples for ChrisMusic

Andyjr1515

Didn't want to hijack @ChrisMusic 's thread but have added a link on his thread for him to here, or anyone else who is interested, in terms of some of veneer examples and how flexible a medium it is, stained or natural:

Stained first - Myrtle stained with red ink

Myrtle again with North American Burl Walnut on a plywood Epiphone Junior body:

Amboyna on a MIJ Fender Strat:

Possibly Amboyna again on a Squier Jaguar Bass:

North American Burl Walnut on an Ibanez bass:

North American Walnut on a no-name fretless bass:

Some beautiful work there. Is it just me though, the basses seem to suit veneers much more than 6 stringers.

No - I agree.  Couldn't really say why, though...

Some very nice woodiness here.

Hey Andy, thanks for putting these up here.  They look absolutely stunning.  I never realised that a simple veneer would look so good on a guitar.  The North American Burl Walnut on an Ibanez bass is just amazing.

I just love natural textures, Mother Nature really does take some beating, and each pattern is unique, which is a nice bonus.

Adding this to my thread would have been fine, but this is probably a better place to put it, so it is a general resource available for everyone.

Nice work Andy.
