Your guitar body. Your vision. A professional finish.
Thinking about giving your guitar a completely new look?
At 81 Guitar Works, I offer professional guitar refinishing, from classic colours and bursts to metallic, sparkle and more unusual finishes.
And you don't have to live locally.
If you have a guitar body that deserves a fresh start, get in touch to discuss your ideas and arrange a quote. We can discuss the finish you want, the condition of the body and how to get it to the workshop safely.
Whether you're restoring an old favourite or building something completely your own, let's talk about what's possible.

Prices shown are for spray work finished in a modern 2K top-coat lacquer.
For a more traditional look, we also offer Nitro Cellulose lacquer.
Nitro finishes must be applied from bare wood, so previously painted bodies will need to be stripped first — a service we can provide.
