Good luthier in Atlanta, GA area?


I'm still fairly new to Georgia and am looking for recommendations for a shop, or a private luthier. I'm specifically looking for someone that is really good at fret jobs (and doesn't charge an arm and a leg), as my beloved '86 Charvel Model 6 might be due for a refret soon.

I have used these guys before with good success, but not for a complete refret.

I used to use those guys when Brian was running the shop. After he left things went down hill big time and no one there now does a decent job setting up a guitar especially with a floyd. Brian has went and started a luthier school and does repairs at Atlanta Guitar Works and the number is 770-564-3430. They do everything and at good prices.
Good Luck.

Yeah, I stopped at that place by the GC and they were talked $400+ for a refret, I said "see ya!". I'll check out Atlanta Guitar Works though, thanks for the info.

I wish someone local would invest in a PLEK machine.
