Kerry Cash. Kerry's guitars in Bedford/mid-cities. Been around forever. He worked for Schecter in the 80's. Longhorn guitars in the 90's.

It would depend on the work being done. While there’s a lot of great generalists, some are simply better than other in specific skills.

Thx guys. Just wanting an input Jack fixed and a general setup.

2nd shout out for Kerry. Everyone in DFW knew him. He worked at Longhorn and dealt with Dime a lot.
Used to have the smashed up bullet hole ML from Dime on his wall. All the broken parts were slightly separated so it looked like it was exploding!
He has done a bunch of guitars for me including some crazy work all the way back to 91.
I still bring all my new acquisitions to him to get them set up the way I like them.

Jeff Emmett in the North Dallas 'Burbs area. He's been my go-to on this side of the metroplex. He's an engineer and luthier, so good combo. PM me if interested; he works out of his house now.

Spencer Deaton, now at Jimmy Wallace’s place in downtown Garland.

Spencer is simply incredible, and has had opportunities to go on the road but is a family man.

He was trained in the Jim Russell school. If you know, you know. (Jim is now Paul Reed Smiths “guy”).

I've used Kerry for some stuff. No complaints. I'd like to check out Spencer's work sometime. Scott has mentioned him a few times.
It's a bit of a drive from Euless.

Yeah, I checked out some of @texmarkmusic guitars he had set up and fret leveling done on by Spencer and they were really nice.
