Basically, I have had this guitar for 30 years...and it is showing. Looking for a repair/restore place that does outstanding work, if I decide to give this guitar a 30 yr. birthday present. I just want great 'back to stock' lacquer or clear coat, with some tiny, tiny finish repairs.
I won't ever sell this personally, and it is not considered a highly collectible guitar that would degrade in value in any way bu having it done RIGHT, IMO.
Opinions?

Oops, posted in the front subforum.
I put it in the repair section.

Well, I tried to, at least. So, until mods can move it, any suggestions here? Some of the quotes online are upwards of $1000! Ridiculous.

Rideit....where are you geographically....the Big Hole? Could be Arizona? Death Valley? Northwest Indiana? You could drop a couple hundred shipping it, depending on where you are, and if total cost of 1000.00 is a show stopper.....well then it seems local is better.

So, where's local?

Jackson Hole, and Teton Valley(s).(WY and I'd) There is no 'local'...maybe SLC.
