Hello, all! Need a bit of fret work done on the ol' Series 1. Any recommendations in the Chicagoland area?

Thanks in advance!

Looking at the Third Coast Guitar Repair Website which says: Third Factory authorized or Recommended by: Alembic... is this true?

I suggest trying Rick Cremer in North Aurora or Gene Liberty out in Sheridan. I used both when I lived in Illinois many years back. Both have been around for years and I know Rick has worked on an Alembic or two.

I've had work done at Chicago Guitar and Amp near Lincoln Square. Chad does some great work, and I'd trust them with my Alembic.
