I'm going to get myself in trouble because I'll inevitably forget someone, but off the top of my head professional luthiers working out of the US and that I see on the foro (in no particular order): Andy Culpepper, Tom Blackshear, Ethan Deutsch, Brian Burns, Shelton-Farretta, and...erm...everyone else who is mad at me because I forgot them right now... (sorry...) I don't think I've ever played the guitars of anyone on here unfortunately, so don't take that list or the absence of anyone from that list as any kind of recommendation in either direction. It's just the names that popped into mind based on interactions here. I will say that people on here who have purchased a guitar from any of the foro's luthiers always speak very highly of them and of the instruments they've purchased. In the end I don't know how important the shipping aspect is. Luthiers working from elsewhere (there are pros on here working from Canada, Europe, Japan, etc.) can probably tell you more about what that involves in terms of price, risks, etc. as could also the guitarists who have had that experience of purchasing from abroad. I just figured it was something worth considering. Using the search function you may be able to find some things of interest. Looking up Florida luthiers for instance I saw this one: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=66209&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=florida&tmode=&smode=&s=#66402 Narcisco Fumero. Never head of him myself but searching around you can probably find more opinions about his guitars.
