While it is true that I have become increasingly efficient in my building process, having honed it through over 500 repletions, the main reason it seems like I build unusually quickly is that I am building one at a time rather than in batches. My typical standard guitar requires about 150 hours of my time over an 8 week period, including a month of finish curing. The actual woodworking construction time is only the first 2 weeks, generally. They are 50 hour weeks, down from the 70 hour weeks of my first 45 years or so of doing “the work”.
I am glad to see you here in “our” build thread, Palladio.
