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

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

Roland

Are Frailers in Runcorn still going?

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.

Ask in the acoustics section?

ToneControl

I think I have someone, but any other recommendations are welcome

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

Do you mean sales or repairs?

repairs and alterations, thanks for pointing out my title was not clear

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.

Try The Manchester Guitar Tech AKA @SteveRobinson in Sale. All round good guy and absolute gent.

Thanks but I've spoken to @ToneControl and I can't do what he needs.

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