Refinish PRS McCarty 57/08 ?

dts67

Can anyone recommend a luthier that can repair the nitro finish on my McCarty 57/08.

It has a nasty scratch on the back.

preferably based south west of London on Oxfordshire.

Feline might be some to ask but PRS Europe might be the way to go.

How bad is it?

I don't think Feline do nitro finishes?

PRS have a branch in Cambridge.

CA Guitarworks in Baldock would likely do it, but doesn't really fit the location criteria.

He (Chris) works part time for PRS (in Cambridge) and has done at least one repair for World Guitars.

It's probably about an hour and a half drive (my in-laws live in Abingdon, so I do that kind of journey every month or so).

Try marek.homola@gmail.com - he's in Surrey last I used him. Superb talent with nitro refins.

Yes. Get some pics up, if for no other reason than to further fuel my McCarty GAS.

If you are looking for a second opinion a guitar buddy recommended 12th fret in East Sussex. A chap called James is the guy to speak to.
