Services

Our goal is to achieve realistic vintage style aging: weather checking, fading, finish wear, plastic yellowing, etc. It is an artistic process guided by the knowledge of how particular guitars wear over time.

We only work with guitar bodies and necks finished in nitrocellulose lacquer (nitro). If your body or neck is finished in polyurethane (poly), we can refinish it in nitro (see pricing below).
