I'd recommend Larry Davis. He's in the Atlanta area. He does superb work and has a good reputation for fairness and communication with his customers.

I totally agree Paul. His work is superb and he is an all around great guy. He is also a forum member Larwence.

Another plus one for Larry Davis. He did a beatiful job on one of my Rickenbackers! :D

The guitar came with vintage knobs (the silver topped knobs were in the case when I got it), which I put back on the guitar when I got it back.
Larry had some nice suggestions for the guitar, among them clear, back painted guards to match the TRC, and a real bone nut.

FYI; Big Red started life as a Mapleglo 360 WB. But when I saw a RED 360/12 V64, and kept seeing Kenny Howes play his RED 330, I . . .

Another vote For Larry Davis. I've met him, and he does great work. He's doing several projects for other forumites right now.
