It generally takes between 2-4 hours to strip and prep a Fender style body. Some finishes like catalyzed polys can take much longer to strip. If you guitar has this we will call you to discuss options.
 
Ballpark estimate... if you send us a Fender style body and we strip it, prep it, paint it and age it....it is going to run in the $600-700 range. Gibson style guitars generally take much longer to strip and prep because of their contours. There is also more labour involved in the pore filling process. The average cost for a complete aged restoration on a Les Paul goldtop or burst is in the $1200-1400 range.
