The OP said Quote:
So, after the equivalent of 5 full days, I would expect to have the box closed and bound, and a bit more work on the neck during drying times, so not a million miles away from the OP. I expect quite some additional time before being ready for spraying though - fingerboard, neck carve, dovetail etc. The luthier estimates 100-150 hrs for a student to complete an acoustic with him, although this is the first time he's done this so his estimate will be refined as we go along. Also depends on the students aptitude for the work of course. Also, we're making fairly simple no-frills guitars to start with, to reinforce the basics. I can't imagine tackling bevels, scoop cutaways, fancy inlays etc on my first build - respect! Drew |

I'm now scratching my head and wondering why it takes me many months to complete a guitar! |

The above wonderful guitar was exhibited at the GAL 2011 show. Being the first of its kind, Jeff has certain sentimental attachments to it. However it was finally sold to a deserving gentleman. What a sweet ending.

Sounds like a great experience! How long did you spend there, start to finish?
