Please Recommend A Luthier Near Ft. Myers/Naples Florida.
I have a Martin HD-28VS that needs a saddle replacement. It's the old style long saddle. I want someone who really knows how to get the best out of the guitar with the new saddle and setup.
I'll be in Ft. Myers Beach starting October 8th. |

Check with Jon, he has a local luthier that does his work for him. And they are very familiar with high end Martins so the long saddle won't be a stretch for them.

Denny,
Just realized that must be the one you got from me. It has a drop in bone saddle - not glued in, so easy to replace. If you were going to be over my way I would be glad to do it for you, but I'm sure Ross will take good care of you. He does all my work that is beyond my experience level. Cass |

Ross Teigen in Naples......
I've got to recommend Ross Teigen in Naples too. Altho' I live in England & buy guitars from the USA intermittently, I send them to my buddy in Florida first.He checks out any guitars & if they need to be adjusted,fixed or whatever then my buddy takes them to Ross.He's performed miracles on some of the guitars & he prices reparations very reasonably. In all honesty when I've seen photos of the same guitar BEFORE going to Ross and then photos AFTER the job's been done.....it's like a totally different guitar.The guy's brilliant & not expensive either. So I give Ross 5* anytime, you can't go wrong! Hope this helps & good luck!!

Super old thread, but since it came up on page 1 of a google search for Naples luthiers, I thought I'd update to save folks time in the future.
Ross closed his Naples shop last week. Says he is moving to Gainesville and hopes to open up a shop there in another year. I asked him who else might be able to do some minor guitar work in the area, to which he replied "I haven't got a clue." He obviously didn't want to be bothered. |
