    Hi folks,
    I think it's time for an upgrade. I have a lovely solid top yairi that's aging well, but intonation is a constant issue. I was planning on a trip to Dublin to scout out some of the better guitar shops. Could anyone kindly point me in the right direction? Somewhere with a decent collection of nice acoustics (£1-4k range). I'd happily go to London, but exchange rate ain't too pretty these days.
    Thanks.

    Some Neck Guitars on Georges Street would be a good port of call.

    Bigtime. I have to avoid going in there for fear of what I'd spend if I went in.

    The Guitar Centre on Exchequer Street are a Martin and Maton Dealer, and Waltons on Georges Street have high end Gibsons if that floats your boat.

    For that sort of budget would you not look at getting one handmade? Somewhere like this maybe http://www.chrislarkinguitars.com/

    I'm not a guitarist and nor do I have any dealings or contact with the site I linked, but maybe it's food for thought
