Are the Conklin Groove Tools instruments still being made?
 
I've been trying to figure this one out, but a lot of the information online is about five years or so out of date.

Are the Conklin GT series, specifically the GT-7 and the GTBD-7 still in production? It seems like production stopped for a while in the 2005-2007 era, but they are still up on the Conklin website and they are still listed as available through many online dealers. Is this just back stock, or did they stop making them for a while and then begin again?

Actually, I had already emailed them. However, I'm still waiting to hear back from the last email I sent an instrument company (Schecter), and I thought that it might be quicker to ask here. Thanks for the link, anyway. :)

I think the OP's intention was to ask whether they are newly constructed or of they were just unsold stock from previous years.
