Guitar Repair in SF Bay Area?

[SpiderBall]

Anyone happen to know of a GOOD guitar repair contact in the SF Bay Area?

I had a CRAZY FLUKE accident the other day with one of my Jems...and the neck slightly cracked just behind the head....I didn't notice it for a couple of days...but once I did...well, I've been devestated ever since....

This guitar is a HUGE deal for me. I have multiple Jems....and ofcourse....the MOST important one had to have the accident!!! >__<
I want someone that REALLY knows what they're doing...

Right at the top of the next, in the back, there are 2 fractures about 1.5 inches. One looks like a hairline fracture and the other is just a little worse.

I loosened all the strings to release any tension and I've stored it in it's case..
I can provide images later tonight..

I also have a PRS that I'd like to lower the action on. Started to do it myself...but got paranoid and stopped...so some help there would be great also...

My main concern is this injured Jem.....

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

My absolute favorite luthier is Rex at Guitarworks, (866) 345-7991 http://www.rexguitarworks.net/, which is in San Jose. He does all the work himself and his prices are great. He will walk you through everything if you want, and spend forever talking repair with you and giving you DIY tips. I have talked with him for an hour on multiple occasions and I've learned so much. My recommendation is to go to him because you get 100% personal attention from the guy who is going to do the repair.

yea gary brawer has a good reputation and it's justified from everything ive heard, i've never been to him though. i think he has a plek... san jose and san fran are a little over an hour apart, so I suppose it's where you are in the bay.

Thank you all!!!
