Small Business Saturday: Driftwood Guitars spotlight at NEAT

NEAT, a unique bottle shop and tasting room in Alys Beach, Florida, is set to host a Small Business Saturday event on Saturday, November 24th from 5-7PM featuring local musician & craftsmen, Chris Alvarado. Chris, owner of Driftwood Guitars, will entertain the crowd with his always captivating music while attendees have the opportunity to stroll through the shop viewing several of his handmade guitars that will be available for purchase at the event.

Driven by a passion to create one of a kind works of art, Chris Alvarado pours his heart and soul into every instrument he makes. Since 2006, he has been handcrafting guitars that pay tribute to the craftsman of the past, while keeping an eye toward the future of building innovations. At Driftwood Guitars, you are offered the unique experience of watching an instrument take life. What starts out as a vision and a pile of wood, becomes a living and breathing thing.  The journey from conception to the final product is where the life of every instrument begins, and he invites you to be a part of it.
