Historic Makeovers®
Carrying on Kim LaFleur's vision.
After nearly a decade we have developed and refined our process to achieve the most authentic, vintage correct results for your guitar.
The Makeover Process
What began as a simple refinishing of Historic Les Pauls has transformed into a comprehensive "Makeover" transformation.
RetroSpec Parts
Since 2008, RetroSpec has developed and supplied the very best, most authentic vintage-inspired guitar parts available. Luthiers and players choose RetroSpec parts for their vintage Les Pauls, Gibson Historic Reissue Les Pauls, and conversion project guitars. RetroSpec guitar parts were created specifically to upgrade and restore vintage and new guitars including Gibson ES-335, Les Paul Junior, Les Paul Special, Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Standard.
