Guitar luthier in the Bay Area/East Bay

[hammered]

Any one know of any good luthiers in the Bay Area/east bay ? I know of a few in San Francisco but I'd rather not venture over the bay bridge into that traffic ridden city. Any help is greatly appreciated

Is blue note still in Berkeley? They fixed a broken neck on an old 540s I had back in the day and it was almost invisible when I got it back and it was a bad splintered break. I'll actually be there tomorrow night and want to see if it's still there.

I haven't been there in years , never knew they did repairs setups ect.

What do you need done? I do paint.

To hijack the thread ever so slightly while the OP hasn't yet responded about what he's specifically looking for - how about SS refrets? Everyone I've spoken to in Oakland and SF wants $700+. Been a while since I had a refret, but holy cow, that's way more than it used to be.

Some fretwork , possibly a new nut . I've got a MIM Charvel that needs a little help

That`s where I was gonna go originally but I just can`t stomach driving into San Francisco . Thanks to a few posts here I got a line on a few guys not to far from me
