Any recommendations for a guitar shop in Austin, TX?
« on: November 10, 2012, 09:04:47 AM »
No, I'm not looking to buy another guitar.  My ol' standby, a Gibson ES-335, is in need of a a little TLC... the pickups/controls are sounding "scratchy" and perhaps some fret work.  We are potentially going to be in the Austin area the week after Thanksgiving.  I am looking for some recommendations on who you'd trust to leave an old friend in their care?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Best wishes,
Captain Jim

This should probably be in the Repair category of this site, rather than Marketplace.
