I'll likely be moving to the Twin Cities area this summer - anybody have a recommendation as the go-to luthiers or guitar techs in the area? Looking for a good electronics and/or refret person.

The live music scene in St. Paul/Minneapolis is amazing - I guess the TB members there are too busy gigging to post

Leonard Shapiro is the man as far as I'm concerned. He's a Fender Gold authorized tech and does excellent work...and he's reasonable. I don't know his number off hand but he's in the book. He's also a guitar player who runs the Sunday night blues jam at Famous Dave's. He's known as "Moses Oakland" when he plays.
