Other than mentioning a repair man, is there any luthiery involved here?

Being a guitar Repairman doesn't make you a Luthier. Not by a long long loooooong shot.

Yeah, pay attention here.. Doc himself said it....

Doc has also been designing guitars for years." My thing is semi-hollow electric guitars that are very linear at high volumes and very tone-y like a lot of the old guitars people are paying huge dollars for".

Any other snobby comments from other 'experts' on what constitutes "luthiery"? Oh yeah, wait... there was one more:
