Could I have a price estimate also to get a gold finish added? (I'm torn on the relic look so maybe price for both?) Great website!

For checking effects we use a combination of both of those methods. We find that makes for a quite natural and random appearance. We generally like Duralaq for nitro work.

You have to force your hand to make that first cut. I'll email you a price estimate to refinish your Les Paul <strong>without</strong><em> the relic treatment. Kevin,

Although I think (if it was me)I might have opted for the pre-aged finished top look (sans the checking) - it just looked like you guys did such a good re-finishing job. Such a fine finish and then to turn around and marr it up?!>? O, well it what the client wanted. The aging looks very authentic. I might ask what it costs just to do a top refinish on my real Les Paul Deluxe? Thx, Kevin Nice Job Beautiful finish!
