A colleague in Texas asked me to find a luthier to restore his family’s Gibson F-2. It looks like a 1914-16, oval hole with a nice red sunburst finish. The top has a significant crack and the bridge is laying inside the body, and the pick guard is gone. But the back and sides appear to be fine, and the neck is in good shape. I’m looking online and am finding a lot of guitar luthiers, with mandolins as a “side job” or not something they do at all. Am I allowed to ask on this forum for recommendations from those who have had positive experiences with old Gibson restoration projects for a luthier who would do a good job?
