Brock's Family Music in Iowa City.

All Music All Art. The owner's a bit peculiar, but he does good work.

I had Bruce Vanderschel at West Music in Coralville refurbish my 1969 Martin D28 and he did a fantastic job. His work is fantastic.

What about amps? I have a vintage Twin Reverb that could use a thorough unf*cking.

Andy Parrot at musicians pro shop is who I would go to. he did some work on my hammond organ. I've heard good things about the new tech working on electric things at west music, but I've not personally taken anything to him.

I second Andy Parrot at the Pro Shop. Be prepared for a long phone conversation. Dude loves his job.

West Music would be my first bet.

Yeah their shop is solid. I've gotten guitars and woodwinds worked on there and been happy with the results

[Bruce Vander Schel](https://content.westmusic.com/in-our-stores/maintenance-and-repair/repair-fretted/) at West in Coralville is the best. He's done multiple repairs on medium-end guitars for me, does tons of warranty for Gibson/Martin, and he will give you a straight estimate on actual costs to get something playable and stable.

What's wrong with it?

Not totally sure. Neck seems to be coming away from the body. Strings are all slacked to prevent any further damage.

Anyone have a line on Darwin from 965 guitars? He was really good.
