Setup/Luthier - SF Bay Area

Anybody willing to refer a good luthier or tech for a setup in the SF Bay Area? The last thread here on this topic was back in 2005.

Thanks,
Eric

George Bisceglia is one of the best luthiers in the South Bay. He built guitars for Dave Meniketti (Y&T) and USA Halo Custom Shop instruments.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm in the east bay, Contra Costa county, but I'm not opposed to travel for high quality work (I go to Gryphon for acoustic work). I've got an MTD 535 that I'd like to have a setup done on.

Not too sure about that side of the Bay, you might want to try yelp.com to see what locals are saying in your area?

Humblest apologies, gentlemen, but please don't advertise your own shops.

Cheers!
