Alright chicagoland guys.
My other guitarist was telling me about a guitar and amp repair center that is ABOVE par to any other place in chicagoland. The place is chicago guitar and amp repair.
chicagoguitarandamplifier.com
I'm trying him out with my RM100 head (putting KT88's in position 1 and 4), and led lighting on the head, plus just checking it out.
If you want someone that knows their **** and will put the quality and exceptional service into your gear you need to check them out. It's a small shop that is owned by 2 guys that are super cool. The amp tech was talking to me on how people have no clue on what it takes to make an amp perfectly biased.....showed me the frequency wave that is perfect and what other peoples are like (making their amps sound like crap). I didn't believe him til the guitarist turned on his 5150 that has work done there. Just the basic, retubed with 6l6's, and different pre-amp tubes and it blew me away. My Randall combined with his tone was awesome. His amp sounded like the most disgustingly heavy thing you can think of, and HE WASNT BOOSTING IT.
Now for the Luthier at the shop. I played the guitarist Edwards LES PAUL custom (which was turned into a custom) and it played like a dream. All the luthier did was a fret dress, set-up. I;m telling you this guitar played like a $30,000 les paul.
I gave them my RM100 and my ESP horizon and will let you know what you how it went, but just from what i've seen on other peoples gear...I will not ever take my **** anywhere but there.
I already have custom stuff I want to do to my ESP Horizon when it gets back and have 3 other guitars waiting for him.
The prices are awesome so check them out if you want your guitar set-up....if you want a full out custom guitar, or you need your amp worked on/diag'd, or just modded.

P.S. This isn't an endorsment, i'm just rec. to you guy's thebest thing for your rigs....
