Guitar Relic And Refinish Services

Here at Stelfox Custom Guitars we offer a colour and relic service for your guitar like changing a standard Les Paul to look like the iconic '59.

This means we will remove any current finish all the way back to the bare wood then adding the new finish like a dirty lemon burst or an iced t burst. We then give your guitar a reliced look by adding checkering to the lacquer whilst aging the hardware and plastic.

Then put the odd ding here and there, a little belt buckle rash with some added wear on the neck, we want the guitar to look like it's had a cherished life but time is catching up.
