A friend of mine has bought himself a nice Fender acoustic but the action is too high for him. Can anyone recommend a good luthier in or around the London NW2 area that can lower the action and provide a first class set up for him?

    Feline guitars are everything you asked for and more.

    Sure, but no where near London NW2 which is around the Brent Cross area.

    you can sand down the saddle yourself
    it can go wrong without experience, but for a cheaper guitar may be worth a try
    Worse case is paying for a new, correctly adjusted saddle

    Folkies Music, 358 Kilburn High Road. Almost in Cricklewood and they have a guitar repair service.

    Very helpful they are too.

    Late to this party but over the years I have used Bill Puplett who has a legendary reputation. I thought the quality of his work was exceptional but he had a long waiting list, including a lot of "names". Good prices though.
    IIRC he was near Kingsbury / Harrow.
    He didn't advertise and kept a very low profile. Anyone know if he's still working?
