Their attention to small details and his attentiveness to what you want out of your refin/makeover is the attraction for me.
He also provides a photographic record of their progress step by step. You can almost watch the transformation. Updates are regular.
I can tell you I did it because I will probably never be able to afford the perfect vintage burst. This is the next closest thing. Shoot him an email and communicate with him

I think the next closest thing to a burst would be
a replica made by Tom Bartlett (or possibly another good luthier) using old growth woods.......... it doesn't get better than this IMO.
It's pricy, but A LOT cheaper than an old burst.
I would prefer this to any "makeover" job, if I wanted the "real deal".
And BTW, the color on a guitar has never really been a deal breaker for me (unless it's a sparkle finish or black on an non custom LP which I don't like )
