    I am seeking a competitant guitar luthier in the North of England or Scotland

    I have an acoustic archtop guitar which has a badly warped neck. The fretboard has to be taken off / new truss rod fitted and the arm planed flat. Does anybody know of good guitar luthier who can do this in Northern England or Scotland?

    Thank you.

    Could anybody also recommend experienced vintage instrument restorer who could take on both structural and finish issues (sympathetic touch up rather than refinish) in London area? Many thanks in advance

    I've been to both for my archtops and they've always had all sorts of vintage pieces in various states on the walls or in clamps.
