Croatian Luthier Building a Guitar Only With Hand Tools | Nikola Petrek Guitars | VelEx Podcast

O epizodi
In this episode of the VelEx Podcast, I sit down with Croatian luthier Nikola Petrek (Nikola Petrek Guitars) to talk about wood, tone, craft, and a special project: building an electric guitar using only hand tools, without electricity.
Nikola is known for repairs, restorations, and custom guitars, but this project goes beyond everyday workshop work. We talk about why he decided to build one guitar entirely by hand, what he learned during the process, and how craftsmanship, patience, and curiosity shape his life as a maker.
This conversation is connected to Nikola’s video series Building an Electric Guitar Without Electricity, where he documents the full journey of this unique instrument. You can see all episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbCUTenwH4g&list=PLKRxxa6fuKiwVoVR1_bOAFCk2Yzflb3Ku&index=1
