we have some quality "made in the UK" electric guitar builders on here, who are the acoustic builder

who in general are quality UK acoustic builders who you can sit down with and talk about building an acoustic with, we have some quality electric builders, but I don't see huge acoustic discussion.

TheBigDipper

Brook in Devon
Atkin in Kent.
Turnstone in Surrey.

All make lovely guitars and do so to order if you can wait that long. I own and love  a Brook Taw, liked every Atkin I've ever played and was totally smitten in Birmingham by a Turnstone that I cannot afford... 

Kalimna

To that list (as a proud owner of a Brook Tavy)

Mark Bailey (doesn't just run build-your-own courses)

Peter Barton (as played by Kate Rusby)

Kevin Aram.

I played a used Atkin the other day - for only 2/3 mins - what  guitar - tone was so big and clear for such a small body - peach of a guitar
