It's a hand assembled amp. It takes a
minimum of 8 hours for one person to fully assemble a 5e3 chassis.
I suppose it could go a little faster if you had an assembly line going, boards pre-stuffed and wired; chassis with pots, swtiches, jacks, transformers, tube sockets, fuse holder, pilot light, and AC cord already installed; cab covered, lacquered, handle, badge, and glides installed; baffle installed with speaker and lead w/phone plug installed in cab. Fender should have the machine in place to do this, but it still takes one guy to assemble the pieces.
There's a lot that goes on with building an amp.
