I'm looking for a repair person in Philadelphia, PA to set up my 1991 Gibson L-1. I'd appreciate your helping me find one.

They're a little north of the city, but Bil and Sarah do fine work: http://guitarparlor.net/directory-page.html

Back in the late 80s, I had to have a top crack repaired. I was referred to a guy who lived in Philly (I was in Delaware County and the local shop wouldn't touch it). I was told that this guy was the one that touring pros went to when they needed work done. I'm pretty sure his name was Ruggiero. The work was stellar.

A bit of searching turned up the following. I couldn't swear it's the same guy, but I'm pretty sure it is.

Look up Jack Romano in Conshohocken (west of Philly) He does great work. IM or email me for his number if you can't find it in the white pages.
