Hey all, sorry to post a beginner question, does anyone know a good place to get a guitar set up in the West Yorkshire area?
I find my stings are too tight to the fret board at the nut, and too far away as you approach the 12th fret.
It might just need a good set up, or possibly a different nut?

There's a good luthier coming to Halifax the weekend after next, if that suits? Our forum meeting is taking place there, and there are a few of us enthusiastic amateurs who could have a look, or even the excellent Mr Dave White if you require the professional touch Maybe you could drop in to say 'hi' and he might have a look for you. ..

Thanks guys,
I had spotted that chap that's on that search actually, he's not far from me at all, I couldn't find any customer feedback but may give him a try anyway - I did actually email him a few months back and I believe he said he charge £30, I'm guessing that would cover an appraisal and a rod adjustment..
I'm actually at an Ale festival just down the road at the weekend so may or may not be able to pop over depending on how 'festive' things become!

David Ellis lives in Marsden. He's an old friend & bandmate. He used to have a guitar shop & will still do a repair or a setup.
