Help! Good Luthier in Metro Atlanta, GA?

Hey there!

Can anyone recommend a good luthier in the metro Atlanta area? I've tried one shop in particular, and have had bad luck twice in a row (with two different instruments/issues). I'm not a pro, but I've been very clear about my needs. Additionally, I haven't had unusual requests (setups, cleaning electronics); I'm not using weird string gauges, non-standard tunings, etc. Things simply haven't turned out the way I want them.

Specifically, I'd like someone well-versed in both hardtail and floating trem guitars. Any recommendations? I know that Steve Morse's Dregs-era tech, Burt Foster, isn't far away, but I'd prefer to find someone within reasonable driving distance.

Thanks in advance,
Spencer

There is a guy there named John Bailey he does excellent work. Hes done everything from pickups to pulling the whole power amp out of my stuff. I trust him.
