Historic Makeovers Information

At Historic Makeovers®, we take pride in using the same techniques and methods as Gibson in the mid to late 1950s heyday of the Les Paul Sunburst. Each and every guitar that leaves our shop is hand worked and finished using materials from a bygone era of the guitar industry. The human element is a pivotal part of our guitar refinishing process, just as it was during the golden era of electric guitar building. Inspired by the most sought after guitars ever constructed, we provide our customers with the same handmade, organic qualities of real vintage Gibsons. If you are looking for a guitar that not only looks vintage, but also feels, sounds, and acts like a real vintage instrument, this is the place for you.
