Need Acoustic Guitar Recommendation - Suffolk County,NY

[kmckenna45]

I previously posted a thread about what to look for in a good “set up” - and several respondents righty stated I should have posted my location - to get recommendation. And so - I’m doing that now.

I’m purchasing a new parlor guitar (Eastman) - and I want to get it in the best possible shape for finger style. So - I’m look for Setup Luthier recommendations

I live in central Suffolk County NY - close to Stony Brook University. (Zip is 11790)

Any recommendations for great Luthiers within 25 miles?

Thanks.

You need to go to Ed Clark in Lake Ronkonkoma. Not only is he a skilled craftsman who will do a great job for you, he's an honest guy who won't try to talk you into anything you don't need.

He's also got a funky little shop that's cool to visit!

Another vote for ED. I brought a guitar to him with the action a little high. He played it took out a truss rod tool tightened the neck, and it played great. He wouldn't even charge me. How many out there would do that.
