I just got my Ibanez AF120 archtop back form Gene Imbody’s United Lutherie in Jacksonville, Ohio. It only had a bad volume pot, but since the electronics are only accessible from the f-holes I decided not to tear into it myself. I know it wasn’t a big job, but I have to say how pleased I was with Gene’s professional and friendly demeanor, reasonable price, and quick turn-around time.

If you have any guitars or amps lying around in need of repair I’d highly recommend giving him a call. Also, check out the shop’s myspace page and photos where you can get a good feel for the shop and some of the work he’s done.

Be sure to tell ‘em John sent you.
