I don't mean that as a knock on his personal technique, I just don't honestly believe that his average concert instrument really takes him 300 hrs of work...but hey, I may be entirely wrong since I've never built a guitar myself!

In my defense, though, I have read posts by veteran luthiers (on other forums) stating that they average 100-150 for a quality instrument.

Great video. I really like the clip of the tone tapping and weighing/mixing the lacquer.

That video was well done. Especially for those of us with no (and I do mean no) woodworking skills at all. I enjoyed the music too. Thanks for the post.
