Good questions!
And a bunch of good answers already.
If you are dead set on replicating your fave, and why not? Have you considered sending your Luthier the one you love so he has it in hand while doing your new carve?
I am doing just this with John Kinnaird for my upcoming build. And he did my fave carve on my former build! But he uses no CNC and every carve is a bit different.
Of course you need to pack like crazy, insure up the wazoo and pray while shipping... Ameritage cases and DOUBLE boxing relieve some worries...
And you need a couple spares! Tell your spouse. Good excuse to have a couple extras! Haha
Hope you get just what you are after!
Cheers
Paul
