00:30I have been in this line for 40-45 years.
00:54I have been in this company for 30-35 years.
00:57I have been in the guitar line for 10 years.
01:01My name is Babar Ali.
01:03I have been in the guitar line since I was a kid.
01:08I am an electric guitarist.
01:13In the past, we used to put a side on the guitar.
01:17The side was a tune cut.
01:19The top was a bassing.
01:21The neck was a maple cut.
01:23This is a tune cut.
01:25The neck was a maple cut.
01:27The neck was a maple cut.
01:28So, if the guitar was light, the sound would be good.
01:33One person would put a bassing on one guitar.
01:37Someone would set the neck.
01:39Someone would make the neck block.
01:41So, 4-5 people together would make a guitar.
01:44In my section, I would make the body.
01:47They would make the body.
01:49They would give it to another technician to set it.
01:52Then, another technician would finish it.
01:55Then, the body would be polished.
01:57Someone would make the gusset.
01:59Someone would paint it.
02:01The body would then be fitted and sent to my shop.
02:03This is gusseted to make a series of paper.
02:06It would be plied with a pawl speed.
02:09After that, the gussets would be smoothed.
02:13Then, the neck would be plied.
02:15After that, the paper would be drawn on it.
02:20I make it smooth, polish it with sealer, cut the paper on top of the sealer, paint it and then I fit the guitar to my body.
02:35I have an FM radio in my workshop.
02:39I listen to music from Bangla to Hindi.
02:43I love this kind of music.
02:46I listen to music from morning to evening.
02:49I tune my guitar.
02:53I like it a lot.
02:55If you make an oval shape, it looks beautiful.
02:58But if you make a plain shape, it doesn't look beautiful.
03:01But most of the tops are plain.
03:05The back side is oval.
03:07You can see an oval shape on the back side of any guitar.
03:14I want to show my body.
03:16I want to show my body.
03:18It's my only work.
03:20Every time I fell in love, I was auctioned off.
03:25I salute my wife.
03:29Tane din tandana.
03:31Tandana, tandana.
03:33Tane din tandana.
03:35Tandana, tandana.
