A friend of mine re-veneered my G-22000 using Bubinga, looks fantastic.
Killer!

very nice:thmbsp:
The sky is the limit option wise but no matter what you do it will be a HUGE improvement over that dang vinyl!
When it comes to modding I am kind of conservative and prefer a wood that comes as close to the original vinyl veneer as possible. I believe that the G9, G22, and G33 have different vinyl wood (possibly including rosewood and mahogany), and when LBPete redid the case on my G9, we chose Honduran Mahogany on the grounds that it seemed close to the original vinyl.
Best regards,
Exotics are cool but I am a walnut freak. It just looks good!!!!
That does look good. what amp is it on?
Marantz 4270
Here's another LBPete case - this one in rosewood (before and after oil/wax application) for my Concept 16.5: AFAIR, this is similar to the vinyl on the G-33.
The vinyl on the G-22/33 is simulated rosewood. Santos Rosewood would look great but it's pricey. They look good in mahogany too.
A G-22000 case is a tricky case for a first veneer project. It has a lot of surfaces and the slots on the back of the tuner are a bear to cut. I've seen two variations in those slots. Some of these cases, the slots run the length of the case. Others, are divided into slotted sections and are not continuous. Any slots are a pain but the latter is much harder to deal with.
There have been a number of posts on veneering technique in the DIY forum. Do a search there for some ideas.
