There's a similar thought to a different builder, here. I'm uncertain how many luthiers Jaydee employ(ed).
When Mike Lull died a few years ago, his son Spencer took over the business; my understanding is that Lull had outsourced elements of the builds when demand exceeded the limits of the workshop.
Spencer changed things by bringing work back in house and by stripping back the models they offered (focus is now on Precision/Jazz type models). He seems considerably more hands on from a socials perspective, too. From what I've seen and read, quality seems to be as good, if not better, than previously.
Perhaps all it takes is new blood to take over. They know the legacy of the brand and want to invest in that.
