Hey lads...
Im having my historic '59 Les Paul refinished. Its being done by a luthier in Niagara on the Lake. Fred Gabrsek is the man.
Heres the link to his site... http://www.freddysfrets.com

Wow. That before picture looks pretty good to me.
When you say "rubbery" vs "crystline" do you mean it's soft, or is it something visual?
Also, is Lemon Drop a shade of burst, or is it the shape of the burst pattern?

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Sorry, that phtot scared me. Not sure why but refin'ing a burst les paul just seems impossible to my simple brain.
Beautiful guitar!
Dunno, Link will not work for me...
Don't trust him man!!! His shop is way too clean!!
Seriously....
Looks like so much fun, he should pay you!
I didn't become famous again today either!
I viewed the entire photos outlay of his custom build Les Paul - amazing detail and obvious patience... some of his restoration work is amazing to me. I am thinking your guitar is going to come out great deepblue1963.
Thanks guys. Fred is a true craftsman. Its going to look amazing when its complete.
Hi Guys,
Just want thank you all for watching this thread. Deepblue's R9 is done and out the door. Here's a little video montage that I put together of the process.

Wow Nice job.
Nice job on the refin. Not my cup of tea as far as the finished color choice, but it's not my guitar either and I didn't pay for the job so my preferences really don't mean anything here. I still enjoyed watching the process as it unfolded, and think you did a fantastic job.
POO DAT!!!
