Hi,

Just acquired my first, a '67 365 JG and would like to get her professionally set-up.

Would appreciate any recommendations for a Ric tech in the NY Metro area, preferably Westchester County.

Thanks!

Frank

Talk to Mark Walker; he's a member of this forum. He's a bass guy but he knows his way around the old-style truss rods and that's the tricky part.

I also like Matt at 30th Street Guitars.

My pleasure, welcome! There are so many horror stories out there about the old truss rods. I never trusted anybody, even good Fender/Gibson techs, so I learned how to adjust them myself from this forum (namely joeysbassnotes.com).

Would love to see a pic of your guitar!
