- [Voiceover] Yeah, every guitar has a story.

I custom-make guitars here at Carmine Street Guitars.

The craft of it is one of my favorite things.

You know, building from the materials that are historic

and coming up with instruments that make music

and are kind of alive in a different way.

I bring the wood here and then I have to de-nail it

and then surface it and cut it to shape on the band saw,

sand it smooth, and then I use mostly shellac finishes,

A lot of people have come through Carmine Street Guitars

and bought my custom guitars over the years.

Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith band, Roger Waters,

To be able to give life back into the instrument

from the old timbers that built this city

and turn into something that makes music.
