Maple Veneer on a Pioneer SX 550

I wanted to replace the old walnut vinyl on my Pioneer SX 550 stereo receiver. I felt like it would look really nice in a lighter wood finish so I opted for replacing the vinyl with real maple wood veneer. It was a tedious process to apply new veneer and bend it around the metal top cover but it was worth it. I think it looks awesome!

My name is Matt. I live in Washington State and create content around vintage stereos and other audio equipment. I approach the hobby from the standpoint of appreciating the aesthetic as well as having a system that is enjoyable to listen to my favorite music on. I'm not generally spending time worrying about having the right cables or how good the speakers sound beyond a certain point. So long as the music sounds good enough to dance to, I'm happy. If you have a receiver that you would like serviced, drop a comment and we could talk about service costs.
