South london luthier for a swollen Martin ?

DrCornelius

Hi folks ,

Not mine , but a friend had a 25 year old small Martin that had developed a bulge around the bridge.  I’ve suggested a luthier rather than attempt anything himself - woukd this be right and if so does anyone know of a good one in south London please ? 

Picture below (and thanks all)

I didn’t even think of Feline for an acoustic tbh - it would be great if they could help as the bloke is just up the road in Herne Hill

A bit of belly is quite normal...but that looks like the bridge is lifting.

I have hear positive things about Graham Parker in Lewisham, but I've  no personal experience.

Why isnt he? He could even get advice on how to get a free packet of strings with his next guitar.
