Well, I don't think I come anywhere close to Taylor-like efficiency, but I do tend to go pretty hard at it. Especially the box itself can come together very fast, but then things slow to a deathly slow crawl when it comes to finish. I generally estimate about 20 days to build the guitars, and another 20 to 30 for finish and cure.
I love the relationship building, too. Getting to know a customer, and them more often than not ending up as a friend is one of the great pleasures of my solitary, antisocial, shop dwelling existence. So I'll do my best to drag it out, Mike!
