There is a luthier's Guild, and all the luthiers I have been to were
school trained and had certificates.

I have been to music stores that had a "guitar tech". Which meant
he "fixed" guitars but had no certificate.

You want to go to a real Luthier if you have one nearby.

I hope that helps!

Keep Playing! Remember, only YOU can make YOU a better guitarist.

qualified luthiers. Now in my line of work there is certification and
I am a craftsman, but what standard is there for Luthiers? Is there a
Certified Inspection or Inspectors of standards that they are held
to? Does anyone know. They should have a real License to practice
this profession, right? If not, I believe they should. But for now, I
trust my experience and knowledge to fix and repair and maintain my
guitars. Thank you.
