1+ on the veneer. You want to look for something really white. There are some build pics of Simon doing this... Haven't seen him for a while but he was the king of veneer. Nice thing about veneer is that you can build up to just a little tighter than you need and then sand down to perfect fit. Also good is that if you ever bust a truss rod or the neck twists you'll be able to steam off the Titebond ;-)
