Probably "luthier-made" is more appropriate nowadays. Anyway, a lot of luthiers use a lot of power tools, too, which would disqualify them from being hand-made in some senses of the word. But in my opinion, as long as you have a master luthier there to tap the wood and use his judgement to get the best sound out of each soundboard, that's what we all want. I think it was Torres who said something to the effect of there not being any secrets, just the accumulated knowledge and judgement he had acquired over a lifetime of patient, observant, and thoughtful work. It makes senses to me (although I bet he did figure out a few "secrets" along the way).
