Specializing in Relic and Custom Vintage Guitar Finishes.

Reliced. Aged. Distressed. Antique. Doesn’t matter which word you use, they all mean comfort. Everyone loves the feel of a vintage guitar. Unfortunately, the cost of true vintage has gone beyond the reach of many, and the value of vintage guitars can make them pretty nerve-racking to take out on the road.

We offer the next best thing: vintage look and feel without the wait or the price tag.

If you have a new guitar that you love, but want that broken-in look and feel, we can age the poly and then finish it with a coat of Nitro lacquer.

If you want to custom build your guitar from the ground up, getting the thin finish and weight you desire, we can supply the body, neck, hardware and plastic you select, all aged to your specifications.*

If you have a valuable vintage guitar and would like a replica for the road, we can match the color, wear and markings.

Whether it’s speeding up the natural aging process of your existing guitar, or customizing a new guitar, Troubadour Custom Guitar offers you quality craftsmanship and a devotion to detail. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss some options. We look forward to hearing from you.

*We understand that each guitar player has their own preferences for pickups, and the options are extensive, so we do not generally supply the electronics; however, we do have a source for these items if you would prefer that we order them for you.
