Vines transforms materials from forgotten landscapes in pursuit of building guitars. From tobacco barns to radio parts, he creates hand-carved guitars, with each grain of wood telling a story of the past. "The man said, 'you might not want that wood there because they hung a man on that tree,'" Vines said."But the wood has a character, and everyone sees it a different way. The shape and the form mean something different to everybody that looks at it."
But Vines creates these guitars in his shop every day to find a particular sound he said has been haunting his dream.
