This is my 2nd guitar that Pat painted for me and the finished work is just as incredible as the first one he did 9 months ago which was for my ESP LTD EC 1000. The gold paint Pat uses is way more gorgeous than the gold paint most manufacturers use on their guitars! I also had this ceramic coated which I highly recommend if you want a more scratch resistant guitar. I'll be posting a 2nd review once I get the hardware and new pickups installed. Even though this did take more time than the ESP, this was totally worth the wait! The fact that this looks way more perfect than most guitar finishes that I've seen that come straight from the factory, you can tell Pat poured his heart and soul into this perfect masterpiece he made for me and I couldn't be more grateful to work with an awesome guy like Pat and I plan to continue to work with him on future projects to come!

Patrick you did an amazing paint job on my guitar body. You not only painted it but repaired that small crack. You are amazing in what you do. Thank you very much

Pat was very enthusiastic and thorough with this job. Went above and beyond for the work done on the guitar. Very pleased with the end result

Pat found me a ridiculously specific Rolls Royce color at my request and did a spectacular satin paint job.

Cannot recommend highly enough for anyone looking to get something unique done at a professional level.

Patrick did a remarkable job. I had originally wanted a "relic" look and sent him a reference photo. He called me to give his honest opinion about how it might look compared to the photo of a heavy relic. I was compelled to change to a different plan. I found a photo online and sent it to him. Wishing minutes, he identified the color & we were off. Patrick told me it would take 1-3 months to get it done -- he had it done in a matter of days! It looks incredible, I am very happy with my decision. Patrick was great to work with, a real pro.

Fantastic work = I had a Stratocaster painted a Fender custom shop color that is extremely hard to find the paint for: Pat was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions, & matched paint to my pictures. When I received the Guitar back, I was blown away at how exactingly perfect the paint was, it was exactly what I wanted! And clearly the nicest paint job on any guitar I've ever owned. Already planning my next project paint job for Sims! Highly recommended if you want the very best!

Sims did a wonderful job finishing the three guitar bodies I sent him. The communication was great throughout the process, and I couldn't be happier with the final product. Will be sending Sims more work in the future!

If you want quality work,using only quality materials on your project Patrick Sims is the guy! From start to finish, I can't brag enough about how I was treated.

I sent a guitar body to be refinished, I haven't received it yet (it was shipped yesterday), but from the photos it looks great! Wow! Showroom new. A bit pricey, there's others out there for less but I didn't want to chance it.

Great service and returned before the quoted turnaround time! Pat fixed multiple cracks on my original finish and made it look amazing in a satin black!

I had my guitar refinished in a simple matte daphne blue. I got back exactly what I asked for! Gotta love it. Pat recommended a ceramic wax coating. I had never heard of this before, but it feels really smooth and great to the touch. I would recommend. Reasonable prices too!

Knew I wanted a custom finish by Pat based on the quality of his previous work shown on his website and instagram but was unsure of what to choose. Pat spent a lot of time with me over the phone figuring out the bands and guitarists that I was into and from those conversations we decided to go with a Edward Van Halen famous photo that really looks sensational! Above and beyond customer service along with state of the art craftsmanship, I'll definitely be back for more!

A Kubicki Ex Factor electric bass customer came to us, Philip Kubicki, LLC, requesting one of Sims Custom Shop's shifting pearl finishes. We sent Patrick an unpainted body and what came back is exactly what the customer wanted - and it is gorgeous! Beautiful job, professionally done and completed when promised.

Pat did a super job painting my Music Man Stingray Bass, I wanted it painted to match my 1977 Chevy Camaro and it matched perfectly, looks better than I could have imagined. Also Pat kept me informed of the progress and had the job turned around faster than expected. I will send photos when the bass is back together and completed. Thanks Pat!

Pat did an amazing job on my warmouth strat body. Very knowledgeable and professional! He finished faster than anticipated, and did great work. Thank you!

Today I received from Sims Custom Shop my newly painted Jazz Master guitar body. The Root Beer Kandie Paint is beautiful, the paint has great depth, and more than I could have ever expected. I was even sent photos after it was painted which is great. The timeline estimate provided when I sent my guitar in was met and it was packaged to ensure it arrived un-damaged. The guitar will make an awesome addition and the first with custom paint. I've include a couple of photos below.

Pat is a pleasure to work with and his work is flawless. He's honest with his lead times and communicates when there are issues. His prices are fair and he is clear with expectations. If you need a professional finish and a professional experience, Sims Custom Shop is your choice.

I can not say enough good things about Sims Custom Shop. The quality is top notch and the attention to detail is second to none.

The guitar I sent Patrick was not in the best of condition. It had a previous paint job on it which was very thick, wavy, and rough. He did a phenomenal job working through all these difficulties and kept me in the loop during the whole process taking the time to explain to me his approach as well as get my feedback.

The job took a bit longer than initially quoted but I'm sure this is due to the high volume of work Patrick has. For quality this good, it was well worth the wait.

Sims is hands down the best I have seen in the business, top quality work on my custom Twin Tower Les Paul
Thanks Pat
