I agree. That’s why I found it so surprising to see a newly built fully carved guitar. The guitar shop owner was very vague about what to expect next. I assume there must be more examples of new...
If they are indeed building jazz boxes again, the production process for an L-5 involves a luthier working with a different and more refined skill set than the crafty tools needed to put together a...
