Anyone know a luthier in the Dallas/Ft Worth area you would trust with a Goodall?
Preferably in the mid-cities area.
I just need to have the frets dressed, and a professional set up done on my RGCC. There is a Taylor dealer with a repair shop just down the road, but I am hesitant to take this guitar to just anyone. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks mtl |

Charlie's has been around for a long time and does repairs and setups, but I have no experience with them. Also, there are luthiers in the area you might try - Chris Jenkins in Mansfield (817) 473-6949. There is a Plek fret dressing machine in Norman, OK (supposed to be THE state of the art machine) 888-321-8399 - but again, I have no experience with them either.
Good Luck

Not exactly mid-cites, but the farthest one that way that is definitely trustworthy is Jim at Texas Guitar & Sound. He used to be in Lewisville, and I believe has moved to Coppell, on 121 in the vicinity of Grapevine Mills. The phone number I had written down was (972) 315-0133, but I have also seen (972) 745-0133 on the internet ... f one doesn't work, try the other one !

BigRed51,
Was Jim at Brook Mays in Lewisville? The guy that was at Brook Mays was very good, but I don't know where he went now that Brook Mays has closed (I think his name was Jim). A friend of mine had him dress the frets on a 612ce and was very pleased with the results. I would like to find him again. FarTraveler, Yes, that would be Players on Pipeline. Thanks for the reference. Thanks to all for the information. mtl |

If you haven't already, call Danny at APM to see if he knows someone....

No, he has had Texas Guitar & Sound for many years ... they just moved to a bigger location. I don't get over there very often, but he does very good work and is a straight shooter.

I know of 1 guy who's working for Music & Arts. You can try to call 214-366-0159, and ask for Larry Phetteplace. He's been around DFW for YEARS doing set-ups...mostly orchestral strings, but he's quite a guitarist and he did a fine job on my Telecaster. Bottom line: he could take care of your Goodall.
