Figure out your budget and then find luthiers whose base price fit within it. Also keep in mind that all the stuff you want (Italian spruce or redwood top, Madagascar rosewood, and fan frets) all come with an additional cost on top of the base price. I can confidently say that Madagascar rosewood and fan frets typically come with significant upcharges.
