I have a Rickenbacker 330 that will not stay in tune.

Can anyone recommend a good luthier near Phoenix?

A former bandmate recommended Steadfast, I have not used them yet.

If you're up for a drive and spending some time in downtown Prescott, Ponderosa Lutherie is owned and run by Chris Fleming, former Master Builder and head honcho at the Fender Custom Shop.
Nice group of guys who did a great job on my Strat, reasonably priced too.

Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations.

The Rick sounds killer when it stays in tune.

Something with the weather here?

I tried screwing with it. I probably made it worse.

Could be the weather, might also be the nut.
I have a LP Jr that sounds awesome too....when in tune. One good bend and she's outta tune! I believe the nut is the culprit.
