Great job. I'm pretty much doing the same thing. The missing veneer stops before the curve on the sides, so I thought it might be a good one to learn from. Getting the ends to match up and the grains to blend in are the challenge, yeah? I also thought I might be able to try painting in the photofinish on this one, too, since it's a common set and no tragedy if I don't get it perfect.
Little did I know that the bandswitch was done in crumbly old rubber wiring. The good news is the recap job will be simple on this one, but replacing all those wires will be a task.
