An older TB thread here. Good vibes for Craig above Real Guitars, Euthymia and Chris Barnett. Craig Mueller contact info is out of date, don't know if he's still around.

Dan Torres has moved up to Washington State. His shop is closed.
I would add Val King at King Amplification in Santa Clara and Skip Simmons in Dixon, Ca. Both have worked on my gear with great results.

+1000 for Craig at Powerage. He restored my '71 SVT to perfection!

Up here in Sonoma county, my guy is Steve Kollander at Crucial Audio. Great service, great guy.

I ended up going to Erik at Euthymia Electronics. Good guy, pleased with his work, very reasonable rates. I'd go back for sure.
