Aloha Kona,

If I still had a shop, I'd do your job.

Here are a few suggestions of luthiers who can do that kind of specialized brace work. They are all old experienced pro's with great reputations:

On the Big Island: David Gomes Guitars & Ukes (Hawi), Bob Gleason (Pegasus Guitars & Ukes - Hilo)

Maui: Steve Grimes Guitars (Kula)

Oahu: Kiland Reece (KR Stringed Instrument Repair - Kaneohe), Pete (Island Guitars at Ward Warehouse - Kaka'ako in town), Noah Bonk, (Koolau Guitar & Uke -Wahiawa), Reid Shigemura (Hookani Music in Kalihi Kai - Honolulu), Mark Iseman Guitars (Kaka'ako - Honolulu)

Kauai: Mickey Sussman (Anahola Stringed Instruments - Anahola, Windward side)

A Hui Hou,
