seeking advice/connection to builder to re-top an F5
I built a Siminoff kit years ago, sound was great, but top carved too thin behind the bridge finally bubbled up to the point I need to address it. I'm hoping for some 'reasonably affordable' amount someone could remove the top and either provide a pattern carved top I can run with-- or put back together and I'd refinish. I know the value of a kit build isn't high but hate to think about scrapping it. Any recommendation on qualified luthiers that might be able to help? I'm fearing that if I try to get that top off myself I'll cause too much collateral damage, and also not sure if it can be re-topped without removing the fretboard. Thanks
