eltonwce Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Does any know of a good Acoustic tech in North Carolina? Preferably the Piedmont Triad. I have several guitars that need truss rod adjustments and do not want to do it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninblack Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 A good tech is so hard to find. Sometimes even a tech is hard to find. After years of often painful searching, I found a gifted, reasonably priced luthier who works out of his home. A total fluke. His daughter works in my office and saw a guitar catalog on my desk. We started talking about guitars and pretty soon I was over at her dad's house with a few sick boxes. A few weeks later - tonal glory. (He wasn't a Gibson guy before, but he is now). Of course, my guy is in West Chester, Ohio. Not much help to you I'm afraid. I wish you the best of luck. Hope you find your own miracle worker.

J185cat Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I live in Raleigh and used a guy named Stephen Gillham to do a fret job for me once. I was very pleased with his work, really beautiful fret job. He of course was not fast, most luthiers aren't. I don't know if he is still there, haven't needed any more work. He is located West of Chapel Hill off of I40. Number (I have an old business card) 919-932-6255. I have used Darren Riley here in Raleigh but believe his specialty is electric. I would trust him though. There used to be a guy (Sheppard) in Greensboro that had a good reputation. Just my opinion but I would avoid Guitar Center. I'm sure they have some good people but you never know who you will get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltonwce Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 David Shepherd used to work on my guitars . I think he moved to Charleston, SC. He is a Martin And Gibson expert. If any one takes their instrument to him they will have quality work done. Wish he were still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I know it doesn't help in N.C. But this would make a good thread for reference if anyone does a search for a tech. anywhere. In the Dallas Fort Worth area ~ Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas. Hands Down. This was Stevie Ray's guys for those that didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
