No problem, it took awhile to find them. I'm going to go to school to become a Luither so I'm looking at as many shops as possible.

Make sure you check out Zachary Guitar, I'm definatly going to buy a Z-2 once I have the money.

Actually its not to hard. Many school own the repair shops at different Mars music centers. The one technical college that offers it as a major has 100% job entry.
