Does anyone have any thoughts on who the best Guitar Tech is in London, ON (or within 1 hour drive)?

I am a newbie, and looking to get my guitar set up properly, and have my some pickups installed.

Thanks!

I take all my stuff to Greigg Fraser. Doc Sixstrings gets a good rep as well.

Thanks for the recommendations @Budda, looks like Greigg is close to where I live which might work out well.

A couple additional questions for the group:

1) Is there any advantage to using a big store like L&M?

2) Does anyone have experience with the tech(s) at London Guitars (Music Canada)?

I've heard good things about the tech at London Guitars. Can't recall his name now though. For tube amps, Mike at Vintage Tone wheels gets the nod. Hardcore Electronics is reputed good with SS. I admit, I've not used any of these so can't say with first hand knowledge.

Vintage Tonewheels is the amp game in town 100%. Serviced my touring rigs, quick turnaround and great to deal with.

I'm sorry but G. Fraser is not recommended. After he did his thing, my vintage '78 Strat was buzzing like crazy; I had to adjust the radius on the bridge to 7.25 and then it was perfectly ok. He didn't do it (?). Also, he filled the 'vintage' scuffs on my '78 Strat with a coat of new paint .. mind blowing!

In 5+ years of dealing with him I've never had any experiences like that. He does the work I ask him to do. He provides a receipt to show the work done and the cost.

Maybe he had a bad day .. That was few years ago.

Definitely worth knowing about.
