    Not nearby - not to far away - Dave Mann Nottingham - just an acoustic store

    Aren't Forsyth's in Manchester a big acoustic dealer ?

    Reidys in Blackburn have dedicated Martin and Taylor acoustic rooms.
    Plenty of stock, from the basic all the way up to £7699 Taylor custom shop: https://www.reidys.com/pr/electro-acoustic-guitars/taylor-custom-ga-24711/

    Aye, Frailers are still going - recommended.

    Also, Sound Affects Premier in Ormskirk have a dedicated Acoustic room.

    I'm no acoustic expert, though, so best checking their web pages first.

    Forsyths in Manchester do a good line in Atkin guitars, Martin and Furch too.

    Frailers still going strong, I traded my 000-28EC there last Sat for a gorgeous Bourgeois.

    Frailers don't service acoustics beyond basic adjustments
    Not sure about Forsyths
    In any case, I want to take guitars straight to a luthier, not via a high street shop that adds a percentage, so I'm looking for individuals really

    If you can get down to Welshpool / Newtown area (1hr from Chester) Tony Revell might be worth talking to.

    Ah, I see now.

    Jim Fleeting in Stockport is my choice.

    I've heard some bad stories about them, so be careful. I won't say a lot, because they might be off cases
