can anybody reccomend any?

although my acoustic guitar isnt incredibly expensive, i feel it could benefit from a good set up. the action seems a bit high and neck relief seems maybe a bit out. ive struggled from day one on some barre chords where i just dont have the strength to get it dialled in yet can manage on friends guitars etc.

i had a quick google but didnt come up with much and many are based mainly on electric guitars rather than acoustics., i know guitar luthier's arent big buisnesses and many are small family owned shops etc, just wondering if anyone could share the experiences. etc

also how much roughly are you looking at for a full set up. the price isnt an issue but a ball park figure as theres alot of conflicting information on teh interwebs.

Jimmy Moon is about as good as you are going to get (his guitars are great).

I've paid between £45 and £100 on acoustic setups depending on the work required.
