I have no successful experience with these veneers. I have two basses that had veneer tops. Both tops are now painted solid colors. In my defense, only the first one was an unintentional sand through. The second one was always going to get a solid color top because I did a bunch of mods to the top. I was not gentile with my sanding, but with that said, just the sanding I did to get it ready for the paint damaged the veneer.Originally Posted by Trevor Davies

"... I would be a bit leery of dying and sanding back the top. Those veneers are just so delicate."
The MBM-1 I'm working on now is my first kit with a veneer top. So basically, I have NO knowledge about them
On the "single cutaway" the veneer is not figured, but it is mahogany and will need grain filling. I am planning to just use stain and AquaCoat and see how little sanding I can get away with.
