Luthier List

[whee]

This is kinda related to my previous thread, on telecasters and bigsby vibratos..

So, i'm sure many of you guys have had some experience sending your axes for repairs, servicing. Let's compile a list of decent (and blacklisted) luthiers, and their service abilities... from the usual set-ups to the complex types (like installing a bigsby, rocket-scientist level wiring).

Heh, hopefully i can find someone who's able to help me with my bigsby quest! (don't think i can attempt it on my own now =( )

 

[niteblade]

KC from maestro
Mic from standard value
Beez from (im not sure where)

these few are the more established ones known on the forum

 

[ShredCow]

H-SPHERE

One of the more established ones around. Honest and proficient. Best fretwork in town.

mtlutherie

Malcolm from mtlutherie(His own company) - this is who shredcow recommended.

 

[relinquish69]

we can only mention the good, not the bad. otherwise, that would result in lots of flaming. if I were to recommend, that would definitely be guitar connection but you better ask Kelvin if he has time for all the big rocket scientist like projects

 

[cherns]

I only trust my instruments with KC or Malcolm.

I have sent my guitars to these persons and would confidently recommend them.:-
- Malcolm ("upmarket" charges for convincing workmanship)
- KC (mid range pricing for high quality work)
- Beez (charges are usually more affordable. Good with electronics.)
- Goosonique (some $ charges for his good work and like what he says: "I am doing it to make friends")

They have different charges for their services. imo, their charges are fair because each time the work quality commensurated with how much I paid them.
