Toller Kanal. Als Autodidakt und Hobbybastler habe ich bestimmt an die 30 Gitarren gebaut, wobei mir wichtig war, viel recyceltes Material zu verarbeiten. Sehr informativ, was du zeigst und ich lerne auch als Rentner immer noch dazu. Ich kannte einen Erwin Petrek aus beruflicher Zeit aber der Name ist wohl nicht selten.
@petrekguitars Күн бұрын
Hey vielen herzlichen Dank für deinen Kommentar. Freut mich sehr, dass Dir meine Arbeit gefällt und auch weiterhilft 👍Wirklich… Petrek ist ein eher seltener Name würde mich freuen wenn Du dem Erwin mal ein Video von mir schickst. LG Nik

I repaired a very old, very damaged Wandervogellaute (Lute) and had to use stitches to hold the worst split joint in position. I drilled small holes each side of the joint then used thin wire to pull the jount together. 👍

Very nice craftsmanship on the SG, it looks like a very solid instrument. I also know how it is to lose touch with former bandmates over the years. I hope one day, we might get a chance to reunite and go through our song list again. I wrote some of my best songs in that band. (Band of Heathens). Thank you for sharing with us Nik!

I watched this because when I was adjusting my old fernando stratocaster's truss rod, I always hear some cracking sound even in slight turns. I was giving it a relief because I am hearing fret buzz on the first fret. I am worried that I might have broken the truss rod
@petrekguitars 7 күн бұрын
Thanks for your feedback. It’s hard to say if your Trussrod is damaged but I suppose the problem is your Nut. If you have buzz just in the first Fret check your nut slot hight 👍Hope this will help you out. Best Regards Nik

Easiest thing to find that works is a heavy pick. Some designs have sharp edges and are great for removing dirt. And it's plastic, so there is no way to damage the fretboard. It is not the best or fastest but it's something that works pretty well.
