I think guitar refinishers are a dime a dozen, probably even more so in California. I'll bet any guitar store you walk into, they'll say, "Umm..sure we can refinish your guitar for you...I guess". Now, entering the rariefied atmosphere of the top pro refinishers, you'd find, among others, Scott Lentz (in CA) and RS Guitarworks - both probably very busy. I think when you talk to players in every geographical pocket, they've all got a line on their special guy - "Yeah, take it to him, man. He's one of the best!". And they'd be right, there are a lot of guys that can do a righteous job.
Good luck with the work, xstaygold. It's exciting to have a guitar you like and get to pretty it up just the way you want it.
