Custom Guitar Relic service

We are now offering custom relic services from £75

If you are looking to give your guitar that vintage vibe you can always have it Relic'd.  Most people agree that the sound, the look, the feel, the history is what attract us to vintage guitars. How many people have the £5,000 to  £50,000+ to buy an original vintage guitar?

We have developed many different techniques to transform your standard guitar into a piece of history - or at least make it look like one.

Before and After

Modern guitar finishes are very different from the traditional finishes applied to guitars back in the 1950's and 1960's - if you are looking for the exact look and feel of a Vintage instrument then the finish would have to be tradional (Nitrocellulose).

If you want the vibe of an old instrument however, we can make it look and feel very close to an original, down to simulated checking marks in the top coat, aged tuners and hardware, and even simulated wear in the fretboard.

If you are interested please give me a call on 02920 515 656
