Rick Kelly Guitars - The Intelligent Hand - The Balvenie

[@mitchellmcdowell8546]

No wonder people love his work so much. He loves the very material with which he creates his instruments. So compelling to witness.

[@leonchalita2169]

God bless you for all that you do Mr Kelly. Bless your mother's heart she seems like a very nice woman

[@DavidComdico]

Beautiful. Mrs Kelly's commentary is especially thoughtful and true.

[@meesterprofe007]

One day....one day I will have my hands on a Chumley Chelsea Tele

[@freddohobbiescrafts8036]

the way he talks about woods, the special tree.. he would cry.. man, it so deep.

[@pskemster]

First time watching. What a blessing of love talent gift eye for perfection through imperfections. What a joy to enjoyed. Thank you Rick!

[@paulsteezo1772]

I own 8 of Rick's guitars AND THEY ARE PHENOMENAL!

[@xprettylightsx]

I’m so interested! Would you mind, revealing a ballpark figure on how much you paid for one or each of them? I’m so curious… I know it’s not the point of the instrument, but I would just love to know.

[@001photo]

Very cool. I'm loving this series!

[@LeFrogCatcher]

Beautiful. When a person expresses emotions this way it just melts my heart. What a great passion and how innocently self reflection on perfection, almost suggesting coincidence. No, passion, honesty and diligence I reckon. Mr Kelly, I am in awe and I wish that I one day will get to play one of your guitars, although not worthy. Bless you.

Rick is an icon, but he's more than that. His connection to his craft is special. His connection to life is inspiring.

[@sergioremonalvarez]

I own two of Rick's guitars and they are phenomenal!

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

Do you gig around New York ?

[@jamesmichaelfrank]

Any way to hear or see them ?

[@cklassen]

This is unbelievably good. How did I never hear of this guy? They would have to kick me out of there, I would never want to leave

[@ldmcnutt]

@RickKelley I heard an NPR story about Carmine Street Guitars on my commute home tonight and was so intrigued, that I had to see some videos of your work and hear the amazing sound coming out of your guitars again. Amazing work. LOVED this. Hopefully we see more of you on TV and KZbin!

[@kellybikeco]

so cool.... so proud to know ya and own one of your works of magic!

[@joeh77]

Love this film! I am the proud owner of one of Rick's Bowery Pine Teles, and it is a very special instrument, made by a very special artist!

[@joacoabente3183]

Love this fella and all his work, such a great artist. I’ve been to his store last year, those guitars seemed to be alive. Such a shame I couldnt afford one.

[@doodlesasap7894]

How much do they cost?

[@philipfrank1833]

Ricky Kelly pulling at my heart in the end!

[@ronniebillhicks]

What a great person. The world needs him.

[@philipfrank1833]

Love it, amazing man. Life goals.

[@edadpops1709]

Chris you are a fortunate guy,make the best of it,and it will carry you a long way.

[@cctunes]

Every bit of Rick's emotion blends into the emotion the wood already possesses. And what a cocktail! I'm going with friends down to his shop on Friday, and I CAN'T wait. I only worry I'm gonna go nuts! And people that go nuts have to pay. :/

[@csufjeff]

Amazing share....Thank you...Cheers Jeff

[@MikeSmithnewz]

Rick Kelly Guitars - a very special place.

[@ronlusher7276]

Very nice! Great work.

[@tfajsh]

Now that’s a great American story!

[@umiluv]

Love stuff made from reclaimed wood! Reuse, recycle! ❤️

[@joemmams5785]

kind of a pity,never got into the Fender bolt on style necks...always had old Gibson's and really enjoyed that organic sound and feel of morticed joints

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

I always imagined that if cured/aged properly, the crêpe myrtle wood would be absolutely amazing as a guitar or a violin. Why is this relevant? Indeed that is the question.

[@MichelleBirdsongMainstreaming]

You can't overpraise Rick Kelly's Gift. My son, Singh Birdsong, once Jimi Hendrix and Rick were written about in the Wall Street Journal, July 2012. Singh gathered the wood from our 100 year old tenement and Rick made two guitars for Singh out of it!!

[@stophersrawr]

I am in love.

[@slodziak222222]

i want to work in this place

[@JustusVidyo]

i like what he does and all but it just gets blown out of proportion

[@elbob248]

+Justus Bacon Describe, in precise detail, how this is blown out of proportion.

[@rosannatorres9933]

His guitars are Fender copies, nothing orginal, e.g. blown out of proportion.

[@elbob248]

You must have the attention span of steamed rice.

[@rosannatorres9933]

If that was directed towards me, you missed the point. He clearly stated he makes fender copies, uses old wood, copies nonetheless. It's not original, again blown out of proprtion.

[@StevenCarinci]

Rick is only in business as his Italian-American landlord doesn't bleed him for the rent $$$. That's why his handmade guitars are so relatively inexpensive.

[@eddieetheridge3601]

I Love Seeing The Old Guitars The Ones With Dents Faded And Chipped Away Paint
