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.
