We take this very seriously
This is not dragging your guitar through the alley, rubbing some dirt on it, and calling it a relic.
This is a detailed simulation of the aging process by professionals who have studied and documented the actual aging of actual vintage guitars.
We can create a custom instrument from scratch with licensed parts, add wear to your existing guitar, or fully convert a guitar to vintage specs with authentic parts and finish.
You can have that vintage vibe without going broke.
Rare, Medium, or Well Done?
Should it look like it’s spent the last 50 years touring smoky bars across the country or nestled softly in a case under grandma’s bed? Let us know and we’ll do all the intricate details by hand: from checking lines in the finish to the worn hardware to the cigarette burn mark on the headstock.
Vintage Guitar Restorations
These same techniques can be applied to actual vintage pieces that have had substantial repairs. When a vintage guitar comes in with a broken headstock, or even if its headstock is completely missing, we’ll blend the repair in with the original finish to make it look like it never happened.
