Luthier in Northern VA/DC Area

[YooperMando]

I'm sure this has been addressed in previous posts, but I am having a hard time finding it. Could anyone recommend a good luthier in the Northern Virginia/DC area? I have a 1940's Gibson A-50 I'd like to have professionally checked out/set up. Thanks for any suggestions!

I highly recommend Acoustic Box in Chesterfield, near Richmond. Richie Dotson is a very good luthier. He is a bit of a drive, but if you called ahead, I'm sure that he would accommodate you. His phone number is (804)790-1705. Check out his website https://acousticbox.com/. Lots of good information there. He does a lot of the luthier work for the Mandolin World Headquarters.
