Vintage Höfner Galaxie 176 Guitar repair/ restoration in my Luthier Workshop. I did a very time consuming repair job on this beautiful guitar from a friend of mine. This Instrument was sitting for decades separated and my friend asked me if I could bring it back to life, that’s what I did and I have recorded the whole repair and you can watch this series on my YouTube channel. So enjoy the Video and thanks a lot for your interest in my luthier craftsmanship. Best Regards Nik

Fender Stratocaster 80‘s Guitar Evolution. These days I consider that heavy modified Stratocaster style guitars become more and more popular… not just in the hard and heavy music.. it’s across every music style and I think it’s great. Because I am a kid from the 80‘s and this time period was so innovative and creative..So I invited Oliver from hartguitar - Oliver Hartmann in my Luthier Workshop and we made a very interesting YouTube Video about this topic. We explained the Tremolos that become popular like Floyd Rose, Kahler and other and also the whole evolution that was for sure inspired by the creative artists and music from back in the days. If you like to watch the full Video feel free to follow the link in my Instagram story highlights called „Stratocaster Evolution“ or jump over to my YouTube channel. Thanks a lot for your interest.

In diesem einstündigen Gespräch spreche ich mit Nikola Petrek von Petrek Guitars über ein Jahrzehnt, das den E-Gitarrenbau nachhaltig verändert hat: die 80er Jahre.

Wir beleuchten, was sich in dieser Zeit im Gitarrenbau grundlegend gewandelt hat, woher diese Veränderungen kamen und welche Künstler maßgeblich daran beteiligt waren. Es geht um technische Innovationen, neue Spieltechniken, den Einfluss von MTV und Arena-Rock – und darum, wie sich all das in Konstruktion, Design und Sound der Instrumente widerspiegelte.

Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Tremolo-Systemen dieser Ära, den verwendeten Tonabnehmern, den Hölzern sowie der Art der Herstellung. Wir sprechen über High-Output-Humbucker, Floyd-Rose-Systeme, Superstrats, schlanke Halsprofile, neue Produktionsmethoden und den steigenden Einfluss japanischer Hersteller auf den Weltmarkt.

Begleitet wird unser Gespräch von einer illustren Auswahl an 80er-Jahre Gitarren, unter anderem von Washburn, Charvel, Ibanez, Riemer/Schindehütte sowie Hohner. Zusätzlich werfen wir einen Blick auf ein aktuelles Harley Benton Modell mit klassischen 80s-Spezifikationen und vergleichen, was damals State of the Art war – und was heute davon geblieben ist.

Ein tiefgehender Talk für alle, die verstehen wollen, warum die 80er den modernen E-Gitarrenbau bis heute prägen – technisch, klanglich und kulturell.
