- In this Video I have an amazing Vintage Hoyer Telecaster Guitar made in Germany from the sixties on my Luthier Workbench. This Company was founded in 1874 and I own myself a Telecaster Style Guitar called "White Lady" that was build in the 1980´s.
This Instrument has a couple of issues and needs some maintenance.
The owner asked me to take care about this very rare Instrument.It is equipped with Bill Lawrence Pickups a guy who used to work fore Fender and Gibson after he resettled to the U.S.A. This Instrument has a lot of interesting and unusual features which makes it very special. First of all I have to build a replacement for the missing Bridge Saddle. Then there a a lot of cracks on the Headstock so I have to inspect them and glue them if necessary. And there are a lot of other things that I have to take care of. In this Video you can follow the whole process. I will also explain and show a couple of "Luthier Hacks" in this Video. So if you are interested in my Luthier Craftsmanship stay tuned and enjoy the Video. I love doing stuff like that - if you are interested in more of my Luthier life Projects, please feel free to check out my other extended Workshop Videos on this channel.
Enjoy watching and sharing.

That bridge design is legitimately quite clever.
It's got full adjustment, but all the bits could be made with stuff bought from a hardware store and it doesn't have the issue that telecaster top loaders have where the string always goes underneath the saddle instead of over it
Thanks for your Feedback. Yes this is really effective. Quite a lot nice details on this Telecaster copy. Best Regards Nik
What a cool old guitar, it's very gratifying to see you make it playable again!👍👍
Thank you so much for saying this and for watching my content 🕺🏻👍Best Regards Nik
Happy that the cracks were just in the lacquer! I always regarded these plywood necks - that also Framus used back then - as quite durable! Really a beautiful guitar! 😍
Hey Vito, thank a lot for watching and your Feedback. Best Regards Nik
Ist ja geil!
Ich hab eine Hoyer Strat Kopie aus der gleichen Epoche.
Allerdings war das gute Stück in einem weitaus desolateren Zustand und lag über gut 10 Jahre teilzerlegt im Keller rum.
Ich könnte ne lustige Geschichte drüber erzählen, jedenfalls wurde sie mit minimalistischsten, dafür aber weitgehend vorhandenen wieder in einen brauchbaren Zustand versetzt.
Schönes Teil!
Liebe Grüße aus dem Saarland.
Hey, das hört sich sehr interessant an. Wünsche noch ganz viel Freude mit deiner Strat ist bestimmt auch ein tolles Instrument. Herzliche Grüße ins Saarland Nik

VERY GOOD JOB COOL 😎
Thanks a lot for watching and your positive feedback Chuck👍Best Regards Nik
Such a cool guitar!
Yes that’s a great Instrument. Thanks for your watching and your feedback. Best Regards Nik
Interesting, i got the same Hoyer telecaster from late 60s or early 70s, during the eighties i replaced the tuners with schaller tuners and installed an out of phase switch for the two singlecoils via a push pull pot which gave nice extra sound options. It still holds up nicely, thx for the video. Cheers
Thanks a lot for watching and for sharing your experience and modifications. Best Regards Nik
great vintage guitar..der Hals scheint aus sandwich-Holzlagen zu bestehen, interessant
Thanks a lot. Best Regards Nik
I like it, blues machine . . .
Thanks a lot for your comment. Yes it sounds great. Best Regards Nik
Daaamn those frets are for changing . I would have put jumbo frets on it . But maybe the owner didn't want that ?
Yes that’s absolutely correct Sergio. First we try keep the investment low. Maybe there will be a upgrade with new frets 👍Best Regards Nik
Bet that multilaminate neck is a damn sight more stable than anything Fender or Gibson made
Yes you are absolutely correct. This is a really stiff construction. Best Regards Nik
Hi Nik. Great job! Thanks for sharing your work with us. Just one question: what is the liquid you put after sanding the excess of glue in the headstock crack? Maybe a future video talking about the products you use? Thanks and kindest regards. Antonio
Thanks a lot fr watching and for your question. I use Ballistol Weapon Oil for the process. You are welcome. Best Regards Nik
Very nice job! Out of curiosity, why did you replace the tuner screws with new screws? Were the old ones too far stripped?
Thanks for watching and for your question. The screws were a bit to oversized and the crack II glue is because of them so I decided to change them to a smaller size and like the originals without a cross... Best Regards Nik
Love your content. May I ask why the gloves? Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your positive Feedback. I don't have a heater in my Workshop..... they keep my fingers warm🙂 Best Regards Nik
How was the bridge earthed? I didn't see an earthing wire
It's been quite a while since I done this Repair but I remember there was a ground wire underneath the Bridge. Best Regards Nik
