Sign in to disble this ad
Im looking for a good luthier in the Central New Jersey area... I want just a really good setup, frets leveled if needed, I like super low action, like the lowest possible withought fret buzz. Ive been to a local luthier and the action didnt get any lower, and the only other place I know about is guitar center and I doubt they would do a good job...
So anyone in the Central Jersey area know any good luthiers?

Not sure of current pricing... haven't had to see Paul in a few years. |

Phil and his son David are very old school guys. He builds guitars for Bruce Springsteen, and builds basses for Wilbur Bascomb (listen to any of Jeff Beck's early fusion work to hear Wilbur.) He also does restoration work for the smithsonian institute. Phil holds 17 different patents as well. He can be reached at 732-531-6338. His work is impeccable. |

FWIW - I've been to Petillo also - he does good work as well, but for bass needs, Paul wins hand down IMHO.
