Guitar Luthiers in south/central jersey?

[Dalinkwent48@aim.com]

I have an acoustic that needs some fixing..from what i can see on it theres a crack near the trussrod at the bottom of the neck...the guitar has alot of sentimental value to me and ive barely ever played it nor adjusted anything so im not sure if i got it like this or how it happened...but can anybody point me in the direction of a good guy who can make this guitar playable again?

not in Jersey but maybe not too far off from you depending where in Jersey you are:

Audric Jankauskas is one of the best ... I've seen him work actual miracles on guitars

here's the shop he works out of in Fairless Hills, PA

If its not too much of a haul where you're located, its worth it to have him work on your gtr

When he moved his shop from where I used to live I had to make about an hour & 10 minute ride to bring him my guitars ...

no regrets

He's also a really super nice dude

if it means a lot then most definitely get it fixed up or wrap it up well and get it done in a few years time. dont throw it out

 

[Dalinkwent48@aim.com]

I have a hard case that the guitars stays in...Ill never throw it out,I got the thing in 3rd grade and never really had the heart to take it out of the case and play it...but I finally got the nerve to do it last week and I noticed the problem

Have you brought anything to these guys or is it just word of mouth that you heard they're good?

Dave has worked on my amps for the past 3-4 years or so and Bill has worked on my guitars. I have not brought an acoustic to Bill, but he has done great work on my electrics.
