The 'Up and Coming' Archtop Builder List
Apologies if this has already been discussed at length I tried to find a similar thread but my imagination failed me on search terms.
I'm curious who you guys hold in high regard in terms of archtop builders whose names aren't as established yet. To make my motives transparent I'm curious of builders that are out there that you think are still a steal from a pricing perspective now as they are building their brands and in 10 years we'll all be saying, "You paid how much for that new!" For example: The one that comes to mind for me is Bob Rusch, (never heard of him? Exactly!) who is building what looks like great instruments, and even the most upgraded appear to be in the sub $5000 category. Who do you guys have on your radar?

Wyatt Wilkie. I honestly don't know if anyone has posted him before, but he carved for Benedetto for many years. I know his Dad quite well and met Wyatt when he worked for the Calton Case company in Calgary. (not the idiot in New Brunswick). An outstanding builder, Wyatt lives on Vancouver Island, possibly the prettiest place in Canada.
I'm sure he'll come up on a search engine.
