I'm not exactly sure how many working hours have gone into this guitar. I don't track that for ever instrument. My estimate for most guitars is somewhere around 60+ working hours with a lot of extra drying time on top of that.

This special project is coming together nicely. How many hours to date? Looking forward to hearing the finished product.

The cherry wood binding and rosette on the body provide a great colour tie between the spruce and the rosewood.
