I'm looking for recommendations for a repair tech to work on two pre-1850 Martin guitars. The repairs are relatively minor. The bridge is lifting on one and the other has tuner issues. Preferably in the Seattle area. |

where is your location . There are many that are qualified . The older guitars are not the same as modern instruments. I do repairs and I sent my pre 1860 to Alex Gray of Paradox Mountain strings . He or Steve Kovacik and David Laplante or David Musselwhite . Rick I know personally and is also qualified . |

John, the guitars are in the Seattle area and while it would be nice not to have to ship them anywhere, its not necessary for them the be repaired here. JJ, I know Cat's work and she was the first I thought of, but as John said, the older ones some times pose a different set of problems that not everyone is up to the challenge of repairing. |

Good place to start since they're both in your area. I'm sure they would guide you in the right direction as to a reliable local source. |
