Thanks guys, once again the Forums come to the rescue.

@ Ultpanzi
Yeah I've seen some of Ben Crow's videos, I will check out his one on veneers.

@ Woks
Thanks Warren, I will check out the link and the glue suggestion. Your Blackheart Sassafras looks awesome mate. I have penciled that in if I can get it.

@ Weirdy
Thanks Scott, you have given me heaps to think about. I'll let that stuff rattle around the old brain box for a few days. I would prefer something over 1mm thick, but unfortunately it appears that most veneers are less than that.

@ AJ
Thanks AJ, unfortunately I don't have a vacuum bag so will be using wood and clamps. Thanks for the tip of using glad wrap/grease proof paper.

@ Scott,
Thanks Scott, I will try some plywood manufacturers and see what they have. I was hoping not to use binding as I don't have a router. Once the "photo shoot" is over and I start paying a guitar, I'm not that precious about dings and chips.

@ Bendan
Thanks for the offer of some veneer mate, but you keep it for future projects. I will buy just enough for this project and see how I go. I may never want to look at veneer again after this lol.

@ Nick
I watched one of Ben's videos of him relicing a stunning brand new PRS guitar. After about ten minutes of scratching, banging, and chipping away at this beautiful guitar his classic quote was "my soul is now dead".

Thanks again guys, you have all given me heaps to think about.
