Default Reputable Luthier near Appleton WI

My Martin needs someone other than myself to look at her. She's got a bit of "dippage" between the bridge and the sound hole, and as far as I can tell there's no problem with the bracing. But I want someone with a good rep to take a looksee. Don't want to ship the guitar anywhere if I can help it.

Anyone know a good, and I'm almost sorry for this, Martin Luthier in the area?

Thanks!

Dave,

Can you give a little more info? How old is the guitar? Is it something that's been getting worse over a period of several years, or is it a more sudden problem? Is there a corresponding "hump" in the sound board behind/below the bridge?

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with any of the Appleton/Green Bay luthiers.

Well Bruce Petros is in Kaukauna. He certainly has the ability, might give him a call and if he can't help, he might know someone who could.

Andrew Madsen at Madsen Guitars is fantastic. Has a '50's Brazilian D28 on his bench as we speak.
