Set up and Repair of Vintage Gibsons in New England

Rob Gerety · 10-31-2009, 12:00 PM

Do any of you have any experience with a real good set up and repair person with lots of experience working on old Gibsons in northern New England - or really anywhere in New England or eastern upstate New York? I'm located in Vermont right near Dartmouth College.

Jack O'Brien, Jaffrey, NH.
you can pm me for his contact info, although I think you can find it under builders.

I don't know him personally but Jake who has the Antebellum Instruments website is in Vermont. He apparently does it for a living and sure looks like he knows his way around stringed instruments!

He's done refrets, incl. new nut and bridge, for my 1919 A4 and '23 A2z.
Also, has regularly worked on F5 75313.
Need I say more?
The guy does great work!

I can second Matt's recommendation (Hi Matt!). Steve has done all my mandolin work since 1995, and he really sweats the details. His work is first-rate.
