Hi All,

Haven't been around in a while. Getting back into some playing, and would like the neck on my '13 R8 taken down a bit in the shoulders.

Anyone know a good luthier/customizer in the NYC or southern CT area to recommend? Would like to be there t check out the shape as he goes along. Big thanks, and hope everyone has been well.

After screwing around with guitars and changing them, I have come to the point where if I want a guitar to change that much, I just sell it and buy one that is right.

I did it for 1 guitar , that I had to have and was sweet as can be, except the neck depth and carve .. Best $$$ I've ever spent on a guitar (after buying 1 that is) Playing it when it feels good in hand is ,imo, key .

Can't recommend anyone in NYC , been outta there for many years now . Make it yours , you'll be happy you did .

I wouldn't recommend anyone in Nyc either . on the scene 20 years. while some may be good at certain things ,I am still to find
a tech in nyc that's good at everything. for this kind of job especially if it's a nice guitar there is only one option for me . HM
