Hi all, the 6th string on my acoustic suddenly off tune mid-fretboard about a month into changing new strings. I was wondering how much getting this fixed usually cost?

Also, any shop recommendations?

Thank you.

Lighter strings? Oh no, I actually prefer heavier sets but I did check the official recommended strings before buying the new strings. I used the recommended sizes.

Also, it was perfectly fine for the 1st month or so. Guitar didn't drop, sits on the same stand everyday, clean with cloth after play, same routine everyday. Very strange :/

Few hundred why not go find a tech and ask?

the job could be anything, from your bridge bloating due to humidity, bridge wear and tear, etc etc

also different techs would have different prices
