I would say the guys who do setups and minor repairs only (sometimes attached to guitar shops) are guitar techs, not luthiers.

It's derived from the word "Lute" that should give you a clue.

Since when has the English language followed any logical pattern? :)

Yes, I say Loo Thee Err, too. My sis, whose gramma and spelling is impeccable, reckons as it is derived from French it should be 'a la Francais' and Loo Tee Aye, which seems rather daft to me.

In the case of M D Philips the pronunciation would be Loo Tae Yer - roughly translated as Toilet To You as this also describes the standard the work one may expect.
