Default Starting to look for a luthier for a build

Hi,
I've been out of the loop for a while. Life, and all that...

I have an Avian Ibis multiscale that I love, but it's got some major cracking in the soundboard and geometry issues with the neck now that make it pretty much un-playable. Too bad because it sounds amazing!

I'm wondering if there are any up-and-coming luthiers or less-expensive builders who would be a good fit for an OM that is in the 24.5-25.75/26" scale range for a multiscale, light build.

Thanks so much for any recommendations!

Pat Foster, Clayton Pledger, Ken Casper, Aaron Foster, Warren Murfitt, Lee Hyldig, Oska Burman, Candido Jacob. Should be a good starting point. I know there are many others.
