Hard to say. At this point I have around 40-50hrs in it, but time wise I would say I am maybe halfway at this point. It gets a lot slower once you get past the initial stages of making it look like a guitar. My first few guitars, I got to this point and thought wow, I am almost done, and then rush through finish sanding and paint. I learned the hard way that finish sanding and painting really should take about as long as the guitar if it going to look good. I'm still not there yet with the whole package, though I am learning to get better about the finish work, but as Flick can attest, as he has seen a two of my first three guitars, they look good from a distance, but up close you can tell I went too fast on the final stages.
