Hi, I'm planning to convert my fretted Essence 5 to a fretless and I was wondering if anyone may know a good Luthier to recommend for the job in Los Angeles Area.
Thanks in advance!!

Why not just have Alembic do it?

I recommend my luthier, John Wescott. He mentioned that he's done work for Stanley Clarke, among others.

You can find him at www.wescottguitar.com

He's a great guy and will do a fantastic job on your Essence!

Thanks Guys!!!!
I will contact them inmediately.
Appreciate yor help.

Bassjigga: I will eventually in case that I'm not satisfied with the luthiers, but i think that guys in Alembic are very bussy making the nice basses and only they will replace de fingerboard. Still I'm considering that option. :-)
