Understood Rain. Lucille is still one of the finest looking guitars of all time in my book.
One of the best decisions I have ever made was to have my Epi Dot professionally set up the minute I bought her. It just plays so nice and effortless. I finally got a 490r pickup to drop in the neck as well, to compliment the Classic 57 plus in the bridge, she is just a joy to listen to.
I had a luthier who took care of all my guitar, whom I'd got in touch with through his wife who worked on the show w/ my wife. He made wonders for my two Les Paul's, and did some fine tuning on my SGJ after I got it.
Unfortunately, they relocated to California last year.
I think I did a fine basic job, and fortunately for me, the guitar came from AMS' Nevada warehouse, so it wasn't subjected to any drastic climate/humidity change after I received it. I'm worthless when it comes to doing things like truss rod adjustments or switching pick ups, so for now I'm crossing fingers.
I know plenty of musicians here so I guess eventually I'll hook up with someone who'll recommend someone.
