Q&A Artistically in Tune

The way Tyler MacDonald sees it, he had no choice but to become an artist. A photography protégé at a young age, a classically trained saxophonist, and a mainstay on Florida’s art festival circuit as a teen, the Marco Island native has enjoyed an accomplished professional career beyond his 26 years. Piqued by an interest to learn guitar, MacDonald started making them three years ago. Today, Tyler Mac custom-made, fine-art electric guitars sell for upward of $12,000. —Nanci Theoret
