When you walk into Samir Karnik’s Grant Road workshop, you’ll be greeted by guitars in various stages of production, and sawdust resting on every surface. The 28-year-old works as an environmental consultant by day and as a luthier by night, holing himself up in the workshop he’s set up in his parents’ home.
