North Carolina Filmmaker Erik Olsen brings Lichty Custom Handmade Acoustic Guitars to Life
Filmmaker Erik Olsen has produced a captivating film featuring custom guitar builder Jay Lichty as he creates a custom handmade acoustic guitar from rough wood planks to polished instrument.
ASTORIA, NY, January 15, 2012 /AE PR News/ -- The film, "Luthier Jay W. Lichty" was produced by filmmaker Erik Olsen and reflects a collaboration of crafts. During this project Olsen worked with cameras, lenses, lights and jibs while Lichty's tools included sanders, hand planes, chisels and routers. At its conclusion Olsen produced a film that powerfully captures the spirit and passion of custom guitar builder Jay Lichty while Lichty completed one of his finest guitars to date - a breathtaking Brazilian Rosewood dreadnought guitar.
"Luthier Jay W. Lichty" is a film whose appeal reaches far beyond the interests of a guitar builder or player. As a filmmaker Olsen tells a story that touches all the senses and that takes the viewer on an intimate musical journey into the small luthier shop of Lichty Guitars, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
