Adam, I would recommend Ronnie Nichols, Harrison TN. He has a web site, Nicholsbanjo,com. There are pictures of a repair he did of my D35. He also redid my '42 D18. He is very thorough and knowledgable about all aspects of guitar repair, plus he will get the job don pronto cephus.

He's in Grass Valley (actually between Auburn & GV) CA
Gryphon in Palo Alto also has a great reputation for guitar work. -
