    Probably about 15 to 20 minutes but I normally watch something on TV or YouTube while I do it.

    It does vary depending on which guitar.  The ones with locking tuners are the easiest.  The Gretsch with Bigsby is the most fiddly and time consuming.

    I can't be gassed changing strings, hate the process, so probably leave strings on longer than they should.....
    Takes me ages, especially on a Slot head.

    Takes a while, but i tend to clean it, check the battery etc and faff about. Also eyesight not what it was which tends to slow things down.

    It took me ages until I found the wallpaper pasting table hidden away so now about 10-15 minutes or a little more if adding a fret and/or fretboard clean.
