Default Neck Reset in Los Angeles

Anyone have a recommendation for shops or luthiers in the LA area that can handle a neck reset? I've called a couple and was told by both that they don't do neck resets anymore, and when I asked if they could recommend someone who handles that sort of work they said most luthiers don't do them anymore because they're "difficult and expensive". Rather than calling shop after shop thought it might be easier to ask here, thanks in advance.

Not doing neck resets anymore is like saying you don't want to do guitar repair anymore.

You have been asking the wrong people, who know more of the wrong people.

If you can get Isaac Jang you will be in good hands.

Wasn’t planning to name names, but Neely was one of the people who told me he’s not doing resets anymore. I’ll look into Asken though, appreciate it.
