Members catdaddy Posted July 23, 2004 Members Posted July 23, 2004 I've got a '70 Hummingbird that needs a bridge replacement. Anyone on the forum have any recommendations for a Luthier in the Tampa/Orlando/central Florida area?
Members orsino Posted July 23, 2004 Members Posted July 23, 2004 Slim pickings around here my friend. There is a guy in Orlando that's good but I can't remember his name.PM Jeff (Fstpicker) here on the forum. He'll know.
Members Bluesfrog Posted July 24, 2004 Members Posted July 24, 2004 I think there's one in Sarasota.... I can't remember his name but I remember almost buying a D-28GE that was his and I was going to pick it up when I come down to the tampa/sarasota area to visit my friend down there in August... I might be able to find his number if I dig around a bit but I doubt it.

Members catdaddy Posted July 25, 2004 Author Members Posted July 25, 2004 Bluesfrog, any information would be much appreciated. This hummingbird was the first "quality" instrument that I bought (new in 1970). Its sentimental value to me is really great so I'd like to have more than one option and opinion on this bridge replacement. Thanks for any info!!
Members orsino Posted July 25, 2004 Members Posted July 25, 2004 It's Guitar Factory in Orlando catdaddy. Here's the linkhttp://www.guitarfactory.us/They have a great reputation but their waiting list for repair can be long as I understand.
Members catdaddy Posted July 26, 2004 Author Members Posted July 26, 2004 Tom, Thanks for the tip. I'll call them on Tuesday. Thanks very much for the input!!

Members Fstpicker Posted July 27, 2004 Members Posted July 27, 2004 Sorry for the delay guys! Yes, Bill Fels and Doug Montgomery are their names at the Guitar Factory. They have been repairing and making guitars for at least 30 years. Their work is top notch and very reasonable! I've had several guitars repaired there and/or set-up and I can't say enough good about them. I emailed you the info you need already. Jeff
Members sickman Posted July 28, 2004 Members Posted July 28, 2004 Just another vote for the Guitar Factory... Nice guys. On Saturday's they use to do setups as you waited. Get there early enough and you're own your way quickly. Great place.
