    Default Thinking about getting my Westbury professionally refinished. Thoughts?

    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?

    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?
