Refinishers in southern California?

Rick Towne · September 3rd, 2005, 02:36 PM

Any recommendations?

I know Pat Wilkins and am curious re others.

In addition, if you deliver a complete functioning guitar, is it customary to have a separate charge for reassembly and setup?

Thanks..........

in Van Nuys. On Orion, near Roscoe and the 405. Don't have his phone number handy. One of the best in SoCal.

Never dealt with Eric, but he always runs in ad in The Music Connection. Here's the info...

Eric's Guitar Shop
8101 Orion Ave #21
Van Nuys, CA

818-780-7191

There was a guy I spoke with last year in Azusa area that does a lof of work, but he was more expensive than Wilkins and only did full refinishing, not repairs or fixes.

P.S. Rick, You'll have to try that Atomic A20R we were both bidding on some time. Sorry to have beat you out on it. Maybe the next Tele jam?

are my regular repair guys, but Eric doesn't do refins. Eric's Guitar Shop Inc. was one of my first incorporations.

Just got back from vacation tonight, so I never got to respond to your last email, but I will, I will...

Pat, as you know, does excellent work. If you don't mind sending it out, Mark Jenny (in Cambria) did a killer job on my black, relic "Outlawcaster." Incredibly fast, great work, and an excellent communicator.

I posted about Roy Bullis once before; I've never delt with him, but his stuff sure looks great. He's based in Laguna Hills, here's his repairs page:
