I have a family heirloom Martin G2-18 guitar, signed and dated, which I am going to need to sell. It is in very good condition, except the bridge has pulled away slightly from the top at the ends. Also there are four cracks formerly repaired and cleated by Rob Girdis. These cracks could use a little attention, although they aren’t gaping (as in I don’t think you could slide a piece of paper into them). I have two questions for this group:

(1) Can anyone recommend a luthier with experience doing this type of repair on antique instruments, someone who would restore it with respect and love? I am in western Washington State.

(2) Do you have any thoughts on repair first, then sell vs. sell as is and let the buyer decide how, if, and by whom it should be repaired?

Thanks!
