J,
I really don't think I missed your point, and I don't think you were disrespecting anyone.
I have a background in manufacturing and understand full well about production, cnc, cost per piece, etc., etc.. And, I do think that "bender production" is already happening, if I'm not mistaken, as one can purchase the "parts" for a bender, from a catalog, or an "assembly" from Hipshot. As far as time, I definitely did not wait 9 months or more to get my guitar back! It's like anything else that one wants "custom" made; whether it's golf clubs (not me), guns (not me), motorcycles (I wish), you expect to pay for function, beauty, and durability. I'm generally a frugal person, but there are exceptions that I don't mind paying for and waiting for. My apologies to the O.P., as this thread has turned into something else. Sorry!
