Custom guitar maker strikes the right chord in music city

When the boss learned of Peng's background, he gave him a position in the factory's research department.

"The work needed great care and attention to detail," Peng said.

While working at the factory, he realized that he had an interest in guitars and over the course of the following decade, he gradually became an expert in the field.

In 2005, a worker from a musical instrument company in Wuqiang county in Hengshui, Hebei, met Peng at a fair in Shanghai and invited him to offer technical guidance.
