If you've see some of the new Martins........ I'm sure Tony is right on the money...... I believe I bought the last good Martin guitar around 1997 guess I just got lucky. (4 minute build time)

Since I cut down trees and mill/air dry my own wood for backs & sides add 25 to 50 hours to the 125/150 hours. Its all fun.
