My first time doing a Historic Makeover and the guitar is finally on its way back to me. This was a tribute piece to my mother who passed away about a year ago and I was super nervous how it would turn out but based on the pictures I couldn't be happier. Original guitar was a 2016 True Historic R9 in dirty lemon. Now I just hope it plays/sounds as good as it looks!

Stunning! You must be so psyched. They did a fantastic job on that one.

Happy New Makeover Day!

Most Les Pauls in the Beauty of the Burst book are faded just like that one. SWEET!

Congrats man - you chose the perfect burst, in my opinion. Pattern and colors both. Love it.

Finally got it yesterday evening! I did a quick unboxing and played it a bit but unfortunately work/life prevented me from a proper introduction. Looks and sounds phenomenal though based on my limited time with it so far. Sustain is absolutely incredible. Hoping to do a proper setup today to my preferences and then we will be off to the races!

Much better. The original dirty lemon was nothing historic accurate

Agreed - kinda weird they called it a "True Historic" and then went with that color. Would have not bought it without this project in mind but since I knew I'd be changing the color I focused more on the flame pattern, weight, etc.
