Default Anyone ever 'burst a natural top?

Has anyone ever had a natural top re-finished professionally with a sunburst? Could also have the whole body re-lacquered in gloss if guitar is currently in satin.

Anyone know who might be willing to do this?

I dont need any suggestions to "just buy one with a burst already" as I realize that is an option. But there are some guitars such as an older Yamaha or Alvarez that wasnt offered with one.

I'm not concerned with hurting resale as it would be done on a keeper for myself.

Not ready to try it doing myself at this point.

Thanks.

I had it done once by Bill Tippin... it wasn't cheap but they did a great job and it looked pretty awesome when it came back. I did it to hide a bunch of chipout along the purfling the builder somehow thought looked "fine" as he put it... to me it was horrific. The burst completely hid the issue, so all was good.
