NOTES ABOUT THIS SERVICE: My Stage1 Stress Job is for the player who wants a worn-in feel but doesn't like a beat up looking guitar.

NOTES ABOUT THIS SERVICE: My Stage3 Stress Job is for the player that wants a truly beaten and bruised guitar! Big body damage, fingerboard wear and massively rusted hardware all lend to a look that will make everyone think that you're playing a TRUE vintage instrument! This stage also includes a full fret level and re-crown for the best possible playability and intonation. This stage also allows you the complete freedom to  customize your guitar's look with some of your favorite "Relic's" on the internet or in books that you might have. I can match body and neck damage very closely to photos if that's what you'd prefer. All requests are welcome with this service, but does NOT include complete refinishes! The color of your guitar is the color of your guitar, folks...
