PRS Retop & Headstock Quilting
All work done in our shop

We are always retopping & lightening Les Paul's
We have been doing these retop jobs for 17 years. We
really don't know of any other shops that offer this service.
It's actually cheaper to build a whole guitar from
scratch than to do these jobs.
We charge about half as much as it would be to build one
from scratch. So it doesn't make good sense for us !!!!
We also replace the stock Gibson el cheapo plastic neck inlays with real MOP or
Abalone
Many people can't be validated as human beings unless the headstock says "Gibson"
A Real Pity For The Human Race!!! Oh Well

| The retopping jobs are not limited to just beautiful wood. We also offer
Mirror Ball finishes in single or multicolor.
They can be done with Rhinestones or completely in Mother of Pearl or
Abalone. If you have a wild idea and you would like my shop to do it for
you, Please send in your guitar (Any Guitar) with a short written
outline of your idea and your budget. I am known to give better prices to people who come up with original cool ideas. Because it's a lot of fun to put out something new & different. Ed Roman |
