Luthier in FL

[DaleDudley239]

Hi all, I'm new to LTG, in fact I just signed up now. My 60 year old D-40 needs to visit a luthier and I'm looking for one in FL, I'm in Naples. I remember a few years ago that I had seen one that specialized in Guilds, he was on east coast FL, around Space Coast I think but I've lost that contact info. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Welcome Dale. D40 lover myself. Tom is the man you were looking for as everybody has said. You'll be very happy.

Just talked to Tom's wife yesterday. The old booger (Tom, that is) is extremely busy and rightly so! He is a magician! I snapped my headstock clear off of my Gibson J-45 a year & a half or so ago. There are a lot of 'luthier' folks around here on the Gulf of Mehico but Tom is on the Atlantic. So ... I hiked my unevenly hairy butt into the old Ford E-150 and any we went.

What great personalities Tom and his wife are blessed with. The repair was done with nothing short of perfection. Within 2 weeks, I had her back and I continued to perform self-flagellation on my forehead with a 1 x 6 oak plank for penance. Oh well - better me than the wife! She'd use a 2x4.
He's on Merritt Island just before Cape Canaveral. Long-time Westerly employee.
