Austin TX luthier needed. Please recommend someone.

I have one of the first Breedlove Revivals made. It basically sat in the closets 98% of it's life. Took it out to play and saw the bridge was cracked. Took it for repair, but luthier said he couldn't fix it and couldn't remove it without damaging the top. He said he called Breedlove and they said they used epoxy on the bridge when it was made. Is that even normal for a quality guitar? Anyhow, I would like to have it looked at by someone here in Austin that knows and specializes in acoustics.

If you folks have any recommendations I would appreciate it.

I don't know now tbh, but he was active until 2013 when I was still living in TX. He worked on my Gibson ES-125 and did a great job!
