Nashville master luthier Manuel A. Delgado introduces viewers to the craft of making stringed instruments by hand, which was passed down to him from his father and grandfather. Delgado's guitars, which are made using old-world techniques and often take 200 hours to complete, have become world-renowned for their craftsmanship, sound quality, and incredible beauty. In addition to exploring the rich folk traditions passed down to Manuel, this film also documents his creative process, including his incredibly detailed rosettes, which serve as an artistic centerpiece of his creations.
