Cured? I think curing is salting process applied to meat.
It takes about 5 days to cure bacon

As with any factory situation, Fender (any factory) needs to keep larges amounts of lumber moving to keep up with production. Their wood drying process is a combination of air drying and kiln drying. Kiln drying obviously allows them a much shorter cycle to get the lumber to ideal moisture level. I am sure a web search will reveal the details of this process and the exact moisture content required to ensure stability.
