Yes, that is partly to my mind is what the AGF custom shop is all about. They all are kind of the same thing once assembled into a guitar, but the journey from wood to song differs.

Attending luthier exhibitions are best for that. These types of threads can provide a prospective buyer with some insight into a builder’s approach...
