I have a friend living down there who needs a refret. Any suggestions? I only know of McCabe's.
Thanks,

Pat

Where about's exactly is your friend?

I go to the Fret House in Covina, about 30 miles due east of downtown L.A.. There's a lot of good Luthiers, not many builders though.

Billy,

He recently moved down to "the desert". I guess that's not very specific, eh? I emailed him, will let you know.

Thanks,

Pat

Huhm!

Likely Hesperia/Lancaster/Palmdale/Barstow area. Can't really help him much there.
