Guitar repair person recommendations (LA area)

Hey all,

Any recommendations for a guitar repair person in the LA area? The closer to Burbank/Pasadena, the better.

The tone knob on my Gretsch has come loose inside the guitar, causing all output to shut down. As it's a glue-together body guitar, I can't reach the faulty parts. Need some pro help.

Try John Carruthers

Check out his list of owners and artists. He did some difficult repair work for me and comes highly recommended by a fair number of pros.
