Luthier Locator

So, I’m about to take on a project restoring a ‘65 Jazz bass and was wondering if there were any recommendations for refinishing work in New England/the northeast. I’ve been in touch with Pat Wilkins but wouldn’t mind exploring local-ish options before sending the bass across the country.

Additionally, I was thinking this thread could help serve as a centralized place for people to post names and websites along with locations of luthiers and other talented folk in the community to help make them easier to find quickly for people who may be in similar situations.

Cheers!

Well, a thread like that sounds like a nice idea, but it really needs to be over in the Hardware, Setup & Repair section. That's where the folks go who are looking for Luthiers to help them with their bass projects. Get them to make recommendations of Luthiers they know and have worked with. If you can gather up enough info in a reasonably organized format, they may move it up into the Sticky section.

By the Moderators rules, this section, Luthier's Corner, is not supposed to be a marketplace for Luthiers to sell their services and connect with customers. This is where we Luthiers, beginner to pro, exchange ideas and techniques among ourselves. And most of the Luthiers participating here don't do commercial repair work.
