Jack has done a complete fret level and crown on 2 of my guitars and my MIM Jazz, and a setup on my EBMM SR5HH. He also repaired a tenor banjo for me when I knocked it over and snapped off the headstock. In each case, the quality of the work was excellent, the price was reasonable, and the turnaround time was quick.

You will have to wait he is backed up most of the time. His prices are reasonable considering who he is. If you don't know who he is you need to ask somebody;);). I think I saw Bob Babbitt in the parking lot in the back where I usually go into his little shop. I'm not sure about that though.
