Best Rick Luthiers in the US - any ideas? Or will Rick do structural repairs?

Two right here, Dale and Paul. If not those two then Steve Soest in OC I believe..

how bad?

early signs of fretboard issue but might extend into neck.

Don't forget Mark Arnquist.

Or Ted, for that matter, he does awesome work.

Thanks, everyone, I'll let you know how I get on.

If you catch it early enough, that's easily fixable. Happened to my 75 a couple years after I got...the repair has been fine for 23 years since.

Can you be more specific about the damage Phillip?

Philips profile states he lives in London so I would guess he is after a UK based Luthier with Rick experience

AS always, I'm amazed by the support and knowledge of this forum. Bob, although I live in the UK I 've never yet found a luthier I'd trust with a Rick. I think the last guy - with supposedly vintage expertise - might even have caused the damage. I'm intending to get this done in the US - I get over pretty regularly anyway.

Ted, thanks, best thing I can do is send you a pic. It was your comments on trussrod adjustment/fretboard popping that prompted me to look at this.

Yes, send me a pic. I would be happy to take a look.

It's neat when you see a man who loves what he does!
