I was also told that the price was pretty high, but wanting to at least not regret not going to the best possible for something that means as much to me as my guitars, I sent it off to SCGC and when it came back, I was thrilled with the results. Maybe not necessary, but absolutely no regrets! A lot of places can repair a Rolex, but I always recommend sending to a Rolex center, and since Sant Cruz guitars are the Rolex of guitars, I recommend sending your Santa Cruz guitar to Santa Cruz for Pleking or anything else it may need.
