Here's a pair done for a fellow and avid Star Wars fan and a friend, Lopie Guzman of RSL. He especially requested that his deck were finished in a Star Wars theme, specifically, Boba Fett. An infamous and ruthless bounty hunter form the Star Wars universe.

- Repainted the main diecast frame to Boba Fett's green armor using polyurethane automotive paint.
- Special Fett logos were also painted on top of the base color of the main diecast frame.
- Platters were scraped, 3-step re-faced and repainted and added Fett helmet design.
- Tonearm sections were colored in different tones. Color tones from Boba Fett's Suit and armor. Grey, yellowish-orange and dark maroon.
- All painting are topped with clear coat matte finish to prevent them from fading and chipping.
- Tonearms were rebuilt, pivot bearings cleaned and lubricated. Calibrated to factory setting.
- New heavy duty, OFC RCA cables installed with internal grounding.
- Pitch controls cleaned and calibrated with DeOxit lubrication.
- All lights have been replaced with super bright white LEDs.
