Distressing & Aging

We are known for our insanely detailed distressed and aged finishes. Crafted and refined over years of vintage restoration work, our techniques deliver the most accurate time-worn look and feel, appropriate for your instrument. So, if new and shiny isn't your thing, we can beat some of that "old soul" right into it!

Closet Clean

Light distressing with minor surface scratches and dings. A mild finish patina reflects the natural aging and de-glossing of nitro. Finish checking mimics the natural cracking of the top coat due to changes in weather.

Old Faithful

Closet Clean

Closet Clean

Moderate distressing with a worn-in, well-traveled feel. A modest amount of scratches, dings, and dents, with a few wear spots, finish chipping, and naturally produced finish checking.

Heavy Hand

Closet Clean

Heavy Hand

Intensely distressed, this aging process produces greater amounts of finish wear, larger areas of finish removal, and more pronounced finish checking, dents, and dings.
