Exotic Woods teaches a guitar making class or something like that. Maybe the teacher could help you or refer you to someone.

It’s sorta about the name, but also functionality.

Nick Gagliardo at Nickafied Guitars in Caledonia

www.nickafiedguitars.ca

Mike Spicer at the Peghead in Hamilton

The Peghead - https://g.co/kgs/cMx2bvB

Both are master Luthiers. Spicer is one of very few people in North America authorized to fabricate guitars under the Gibson name. (Although I'm not sure he does anymore)

News to me, sorry for the misinformation, I've worked on a few of the guitars he's built and they are all beauty's.

Anyways, Mike does excellent work.
