I've been wanting an ESP LTD EC 1000 Deluxe in a gold metallic finish for quite some time but sadly ESP never came out with this model in that particular color. Sims Custom Shop made my dream guitar become reality! The EC 1000 Deluxe I owned was in a purple flamed maple finish. Pat from Sims Custom Shop was able to refinish my whole guitar in a beautiful gold metallic finish and repaint the entire body and headstock front to back and also painted the back of the neck as well! The phenomenal hardwork he put into this masterpiece made this guitar look like it came straight from the factory! I'm in love with this beautiful guitar and I honestly have nothing but great things to say about Pat. He's very understanding, he's as friendly as can be, he's easy to work with, and will go the extra mile to make sure any guitar that gets sent to his shop gets sent out a masterpiece. If you're wondering if I would use Sims Custom Shop services again, I already have another guitar lined up for another paint job service pretty soon! You Rock Pat!
