Sadowsky's located in NYC, I believe.

Edit: Yeah, he's in Brooklyn.

If the Guitar Doctor is still in business, he might be your guy.

He did some work on my Alembic for me, and did a great job.

Not a luthier, but if you need any electronics stuff done (amps, wiring etc..) there a guy named Jess Oliver in Massapequa Park. Very affordable and an incredibly nice guy. He designed the original B-15 for Ampeg and was their VP at one time.

Danny at Sam Ash in Carle Place is good.

this made me laugh. jess does notoriously bad jobs and charges more than double what other guys like Davidson electronics would. i've heard it on atleast a dozen seperate accounts..

One of the wonders of the world. Very detail oriented. Bit of a drive, but worth it.

I've heard that Jess suffered a stroke recently, and has since retired from his shop. But when I was restoring my B-15, he was a great resource and even re-coned the original Jensen speaker for me. Didn't cost me any more than the local guys I priced, other than the shipping charge. He did a great job in my book, was quick to reply to my emails, and who better to do the work???
