In order to survive in this economy, many people have to reinvent themselves so that they have work. For one area contractor, that means building something smaller.
Jay Lichty of Tryon used to build homes that would sell for up to a half-a-million dollars. In this economy, building homes has dried up, so he's building guitars and ukuleles. He is combining his love for music and his craftsmanship.
So far, so good, Jay's got a small waiting list for his guitars and a member of the band Fountains of Wayne, a national band, will soon be using one of his guitars.
Although he’s not building homes right now and his income has been slashed, he finds himself very happy and satisfied with his work.
His guitars will cost around $1,500.
