I agree, talk to the luthier. I know of a couple of luthiers who will refund a deposit if the deposit can be then paid by a new person taking that spot in line. Also, if there is a waiting list, the luthier could offer someone in their queue to replace the deposit for a chance to move up the line and get their guitar sooner. Honest communication about your changing situation could result in a positive solution for more than just you and maintain your good relationship with the dealer. Good luck.
Best,
