Need good guitar tech in Bay Area Cali

[AK47]

I live in Mountain View and I need a trustworthy guitar tech that is good and familiar with Kahler, Floyds etc. I have gone through alot of crappy guitar techs and would prefer if one can come to my house as I have alot of guitars that need to be teched of course I will bring a guitar first to be set up and if I like the job I will pay for the tech to come to my house and start setting up my guitars.

In this area its seams people only want to set up Fender strats with high action. My old guitar teachers not around anymore but could set up a mean guitar.

Also it amazes me how many people never seen a kahler.

I doubt anyone good is going to make housecalls but Mark Brown @ Mark's Guitar Repair over in Campbell is excellent.

Yeah but hes alsways back logged about a month on average. I also hate having alot of guitars out at a shop. I like them at home.

You'd be lucky if you caught him when the waiting list was only a month. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Geoff Luttrell at SF Guitarworks. I recommend him highly.

I've used Mark Brown. He took a while with my Ibanez guitars. He had a helper which sped things up considerably but now the dude is gone.

I've been meaning to try CB Perkins in San Jose.

I live about a block away from Marks Guitars. He is a good guy and does good work. But, one of his main downfalls is his schedule and his store hours.

Any of you guys have any experience with Gary Brawer? He's got the only Plek machine in the area and I've been wanting to try that out for a while now.

If you don't mind driving to L.A. I am a pretty decent tech. I may be playing a SF show April 8th...

I live in Sacramento and use SonsFather Guitars in Rocklin. They are incredible. I know it is a bit of a drive.
