Mark - yes! I agree, a simple counting of hours doesn’t convey the years of experience that is embodied in each instrument. I was just curious how long the crafting actually takes.

Fully tooled/jigged. Everything is one-off and done by hand (except if it's a fan fret. I have those done on a CNC).
40 hours doesn't take into account glue dry times or finish curing. That would easily make it closer to 100+ hours. But in all honesty, it's a minimum of 1 month if done full time. Or 2-3 months + if done at part-time.
