SpondonBassed Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) 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. AJR Guitar Modifications - Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass 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. Edited January 31 by SpondonBassed 10 Quote

But, I’d not seen this before! Is there a thread from when he did the work? 1 1 Quote

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? 1 Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Hmmm...not sure. I think so. I'll have a look in the morning. 1 1 Quote

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. 2 Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 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: 3 Quote

bassbiscuits Posted October 5 Posted October 5 My Squier bitsa project - a nitro refin fiesta red body and refin neck with a cheeky Fender logo. Fender 60s vintage reissue bridge. Tonerider Classic P pickup and GHS Precision flats from this very forum. Quest ongoing for replacement machine heads. Until then the old ones stay gaffer taped. 3 Quote
tauzero Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Squier Jazz Vintage Modified Modified. Apart from the Aguilar pickup, V/B/T controls, and pretty control plate, and the neat defret job, it's just the same as any other Squier Jazz. No tear-out, the slight wiggliness on the lines is from the fret tangs. Quote
