The Chisels Are Calling
John Monteleone, world-renowned luthier to the likes Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Ben Harper, is the subject of a new documentary, John Monteleone: The Chisels Are Calling. Monteleone has been described as “a living master” and “the modern day Stradivari of guitar”, a man whose instruments are part of the permanent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Directed by Trevor Laurence, John Monteleone: The Chisels Are Calling attempts to document Monteleone’s life in guitar-making – a career that began with his repairs to the family piano aged 10, and has led him to make stunning one-off instruments for some of the world’s most iconic players.
