Plek is many things to many different people. We like to think of it as a question – What makes for the best possible playability in a guitar? – which we have turned into a machine.
It is also way of looking at the fingerboard, the frets, the strings, of your instruments. It is the application of decades of research and experience, and dialogue with master guitar builders.
It is a philosophy, an idea of quality and playability, as well as a technology.
For more information on Plek machines, the Plek system, and Plek technology, take a look at the links below. Whether your focus is on guitar production, quality control and research [making], or on repair and maximum flexibility [repairing] or whether you are a musician looking to get the best out of your instrument [playing], you are in the right place.
Plek machines provide an invaluable set of tools for professional guitar makers. If you are a guitar manufacturer producing upwards of 400 instruments per month you ought to start by taking a look at the Plek Pro. If you are an individual luthier or a small manufacturer, it is probably best to check out the PLEK STATION.

SG with thde broken trussrod fixed and ready to go home
petermaesch der #12stringguitar #guitarlover ! Seine #takamine brauchte ein #refresh . Die Brücke hatte sich gelöst, die Bünde sahen schon bessere Tage und die Saitenlage war im Nirvana. Entspannt spielen… Fehlanzeige. Wir fixierten die #bridge bombenfest und richteten die Bünde mit unserer #plekmachine ab und erreichten so ein wunderbares Ergebnis. Danke Peter ! #gitarrenwerk #getplekd #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #guitarlover #twelfstringguitar #takamine #soundcloud

Fabrication is complete on the Frankenstrat twins and the Bumblebee. I built these guitars several years ago, and I felt that I could have been more accurate with my construction. I’ve taken a deep dive down the rabbit hole this time, thanks to johnnybguitars and a killer VH Gear Timeline website that breaks down every neck, bridge, pickup, etc that his guitars ever had.
I still need to slot and radius the fretboards and finalize the neck profiles, but the bodies are final sanded and ready for paint, which I hope to start this weekend.

Cutting the nut on a Gibson Les Paul refret on the PLEK. We can decide exactly what depth we want the slots and it will match the radius perfectly to the first fret. Once it comes out of the machine we will do a bunch of hand shaping and polishing to make it all smicko! #plekmachine #getplekd #guitarrepairs #guitarrepairshop #bonenut
Working on the 1966 Mustang, previous refret job someone thought it was a good idea to glue the frets to the fretboard 😬. Before planning the fretboard with the plek we gave it a light covering in wood filler to avoid chip outs. (Pic2) after planning, nice straight fretboard..
Ein interessantes Projekt. Komplett Umbau dieser alten Framus #wandergitarre von its.noah.davis . #pickupeinbauen Griffbrett neu gefräst , #refretting und eine spezielle #bridge die wir mit Gummi dämpften so das ein ganz spezieller Sound entsteht den Noah suchte.

2012 Telecaster came in with a non working trussrod. Checking the fretboard we can see the 1st fret is 4mm and the 12th is 3mm. Corrected the trussrod now works.... Stainless refret and a new bone nut with a Plek setup.
Pleken får jobba denna tisdagsmorgon. Läs gärna mer om vad en Plek setup innebär för ditt instrument. Länk i bio 👆🏻
