Jim,
Brian is in Mountain City(Northeast) TN.
I took my guitar to him and he set it up while I waited, about 5-6 hrs. Call him and check on turn around time.

BA does great work! He completely restored my 71 push pull and it's like a totally different guitar.

Give Bobbe Seymore a call. He really pushes the push-pull guitars and has a full time steel guitar music store in Nashville. You can find his website as www.steelguitar.net and he has a tremendous amount of knowledge concerning this instrument.
