Check out Lyrical Lumber in Maitland (north side of Orlando, just off I-4).

Check Out Rich Mermer. He's a pretty solid luthier. I owned a guitar of his it was Koa Back and sides.

This fella is close. I will call him. I did not have a clue he was in Hawthorne. Much closer than Sebring.:D |
Mr. Teigen is eccentric. Sometimes he'll take work, sometimes he won't, based on the restorations he is doing. His latest is that he didn't have the time for a drop-fill for a Lowden neck I dinged, because he "doesn't want to work on new guitars". This is after he did a nitro finish on a new AllParts tele neck for me. I think he only will do what he wants to do, and that's where it begins and ends. When he says he is "overwhelmed" by a drop-fill (in addition to his workload), that may mean it's time to find another guy, who does pro-grade finish work. Not many in this part of the world. When he chooses to do a task, his work is remarkably good. It's mostly getting him, when he has time around the restorations he does (for large $). His business-his policies. I am considering another more consistently available option.
