When he comes home from his job as a roofer, Joe Muni of New Smyrna Beach crafts custom guitars using recycled wood. Every guitar is unique and many contain portraits within the body. Customers can either select from wood collected by Muni or bring their own wood, often with sentimental value, to Desolation Row Guitars and he will turn it into a functioning instrument. Desolation Row Guitars is located at 507 Ball Street in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
