NYC Area Rick Refin/Restoration Shop

[libratune]

I've been contacted by someone looking for a shop in the NYC area that can be recommended for a Rick restoration/refinish job.

The particular Rick in question is a 325 JG 1966 (with f-hole) from which the three toasters were removed and two Gibson-style humbucks were installed. The current owner of the guitar is the original owner, still has the original toasters and wants them reinstalled. Involves filling routes, wiring, refinishing, etc.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm sorry to say I don't think there are any Ron. Closest would probably be Curt Wilson in Jersey.

I remember this guitar on Ebay a few years back... It didn't sell - too pricy for what had been done to it... I have pics somewhere on the hard drive...

Original owner, eh.....surprised he would confess to such a crime.
