The `Inspired by Andyjr1515` thread

[DarkHeart]

I was given this Aria by Chris `Mr Alpher` Dobson with my intentions being just to turn it fretless as a project but having seen the wonderful things that Andy has been doing with veneer i`ve decided to be inspired and go for a full strip and veneer top and bottom in either walnut veneer (love natural walnut basses) or my old favorite from my kitchen building days cherry. I might also keep it simple and just stick to the P pickup anyway this is what im starting with.

As my wife would say, "NOW look at what you've done!"

Sounds a great project - give a shout if you want any hints or tips (or look at the various threads and if you do it the opposite way to me, it will probably work out much better ) Or as my boss once said, "We've achieved a lot, in spite of your help, Andy."

Inevitable that your veneer build would inspire others...another thread to watch..

You are now entering a dangerous addiction. One build will not be enough. It will become all consumiming, you may even be contemplating the next one even as you start this one. You have been warned.

ive just bought 2 bookmatched black walnut bookmatched veneers.....the plot thickens!

Good luck. Watching with interest. Andy's builds have inspired me too, but I'm not sure Basschat is ready for my particular brand of quality carpentry.....

I know "Light blue touch paper and then run like hell!!"

Seriously, folks, we'd all love to see your projects and progress - it's part of the reason I do such detailed build threads

Reading through some of the Builds threads, noticed there have been no updates in a while.

Stop being a tease and show us some more recent pics..
