You can Choose your distress level.
We scientifically age all of our instruments to achieve a very lively, responsive, and accurate vintage tone. "Level 1" is our baseline option, it has -no- added play wear or distress.
Level One:
NO ADDED PLAY WEAR -Equivalent to a collectors grade EX+ or Mint condition.
Level Two:
Inspired by vintage guitars that were lovingly cared for and played for much of their life.
Level Three:
An homage to the true “Road Warrior” guitars we all know and love, with an artful amount of heavy play wear.
We love pre-war instruments. They have taught us invaluable lessons. Pictured below are just a few of the great 1930's and early 40's guitars that we have had the honor to study, repair, play, and enjoy.
