My vintage modified Jag, further modified by our own @Andyjr1515.  It belonged to a close friend of mine, Jack, who won it at a Bash Bash.  His daughter generously let me keep it.

 

Andy stripped the original painted finish.  He then put a burl veneer and a CF scratch-plate on.  It has Duncan Design pups and half-rounds.  It makes a wonderful sound.

Check his website (above) for before and after photos and for some of his other work.

 

 

PS:  This was owned from new by Andy.  He kindly donated it as a raffle prize for the East Mids Bass Bash one year.  The previous year he donated an acoustic bass to the raffle.  It's worth mentioning because he's such a helpful and friendly chap too.

My first bash, and the last one before Covid.

Wow! That’s bloody stunning! 😍 I’ve seen a lot of Andy’s work on the build diaries and have always been blown away. But, I’d not seen this before!
 

Is there a thread from when he did the work?

@Andyjr1515

 

I've neither asked nor looked for one.  Andy did a demo of his methods for veneer refinishing at a bass bash a few years ago and it is something he's posted about before.  Dunno 'bout a dedicated thread for it.

 

Andy?

I didn't do a thread of actually doing the Squier Jag and actually didn't take progress photos (as I confessed, apparently, in a post in 2011.    2011!!!!  That's a mid-teenager's life span ago!!) but I think I can find a thread of the method used if the photo links are still sound.  I'll have a look.

Here are a few shots of @SpondonBassed's Squier Jag soon after it was finished.  Whoever thought that natural, unstained wood could be so stunning! :

This is a thread that covers the basic method I use, whereas - while the above is natural veneer just with clear varnish - this one below features a stained finish to the veneer.  Applying the veneer is identical, though:
