Steel Tech SF Bay Area

Post by Jeff Phunmongkol »

Hey how's it going - bit of a long shot but looking for someone in the San Francisco Bay Area who would be able to help with a thorough setup and/or rebuild of a crusty Sho Bud Professional...it plays as-is but since purchasing several years ago, I never gave it a proper cleaning and mechanically it can improve. I had considered sending it out but trying to keep it local, if possible. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Tom Bradshaw is in Walnut Creek - I think he still does work on guitars.

He's a great guy, so nice.

Hi Mike. Thanks for the tip. I've had Tom check out several of my guitars in the past. From what I understand, he's steering away from major repair work.
