glennc Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hello to all, Wondering if any of the members who may live in Southern Florida have any recommendations on a top-notch Luthier/Guitar Technician? Personally experienced quality and dependability requested. Thanks for any help. Preferably in the Broward County centered area. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hi from Palm Beach County, one Glenn to another Glenn. G.L. Stiles 111 E Atlantic Ave Ste B, Delray Beach, FL 33444-3772 Telephone: (561) 706-6011 I think this is the same G.L Stiles from Miami years ago. The best in the south at one time. They reworked an SG. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello and what a perfect name!! Thanks Glenn for the reply, I will definitely investigate. Really appreciated. Cheers Glenn No problem. I hope it's the same people from back 1970-1971. An SG was crushed on stage by an Acoustic 261 amp. They brought it back to life. Please let us know how things work out. The lead player who's SG was crushed was a Glenn also. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennc Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi Glenn; Any latest news on the contact with G.L. Stiles, in Delray Beach? Later, Glenn Hey Glenn, No, been tied up with amp considerations and regular life. Haven't had a chance to check him out. Trying to decide on a low power amp, like a Vox lil night train. Oh well want more than I can afford {:-))! L8tr Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi Glenn; My daughter has been using a Fender Frontman 25R. It sounds good, and it didn't break the bank. She's playing a Strat through it. Have a good one. Yak @ u ltr. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's playing a Strat through it. Have a good one. Yak @ u ltr. Glenn Howdy, Just got off the phone with the Guitar Hospital at the number and address you supplied. I was informed that Mr. Stiles was a true craftsman but is no longer with us. The type of intensive restoration makes them sound good for certain applications. For regular setups and stuff, they are a bit of a drive. Thanks for the help! I believe a Frontman is a higher wattage than the Blues Jr. which is only 15 watts. I do not, for personal reasons like to buy chinese manufactured products. But I might get lucky with the 2 Watt Lil Night Train into a 112 cabinet. Holding off on the guitar for now, dang it......

Killatine Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I have 2 contacts here in hollywood/miami area. Both area small shops. The guy who did my LP Jr is Doron (http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/87823-is-it-or-isnt-it/). He is in N.Miami He works out of him home, but has a pretty big setup there. Here is his site http://dguitarsmiami.vpweb.com/default.html I just recently reconnected with an old friend Roscoe Peterson (look him up on youtube as well) that also is a luthier in the Cooper City area. I havent used him, but I have great respect for his knowledge, and he can shred a guitar! The only deal is I only have facebook info on him, but I will provide that http://www.facebook.com/#!/LodaddyInc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrNylon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hi Glenn; Those don't sound to bad distance wise. At least the Cooper City gent. is closer than N. Miami. I'm in for the day tomorrow if the weather turns to trash with Isaac around. Keep your head down, and don't ever get out of the boat!

Glenn Hey there Glenn; I'm getting some heavy squall line bands moving through at the moment. I don't Facebook either, I'd be at a loss to get in touch with him also. You stay safe, and dry too. I'm just hoping it turns out ok for anyone who's going to get that unwelcome visitor Isaac, at their front door. Yak @ u later Glenn. Glenn, in S.Palm Bch.

Killatine Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Griffen east to Ravenswood (Anglers) left (north) about 1/2 mile on the left. Its a "biker" bar, but not a "biker gang" bar, if you get me. Very nice people with no hassles who love to hear music and perform. Dont know if I will make it this Sun and Tues, some family stuff going on, but you never know. Roscoe usually at Cagneys but I think hes off for labor day weekend, so the following Sun, Sept 9, I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
