The latest product in the Plek family, the Plek Scanner, is a laser-based measuring device for guitars that can be used in many scenarios involving the manufacture, wholesale, distribution, and repair of guitars.
Incoming and outgoing quality control, final assembly and setup in production, development and recording of new models, a simple go/no-go scenario, and complaint management are just some of the possible application scenarios. The Scanner is also an ideal tool for custom builders looking to achieve greater accuracy and precision in their work.
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, or on repair and maximum flexibility, you are in the right place.
And if you are a musician looking to get your guitar Plek’d, check out our Plek Finder and our other resources for guitarists!
The Plek Station is a measuring and processing tool designed for maximum flexibility, making it ideal for guitar repairs and small to medium-sized manufacturers.
Measurement under real string tension ensures optimal results. A universally adjustable instrument holder makes it possible to scan and process a wide variety of common guitars, basses, and similar instruments.
For larger manufacturers, the Plek Pro is a tool for mass production featuring an integrated automated string tension simulation system (STS) and an automatic tool changer.
Customized STS mounts for manufacturer-specific guitar models, template files for recurring guitar models, and the parameterization of machining data ensure competitive cycle times and optimal quality and repeatability.

Plek owners – both builders and repairers – are rightly proud of the work they do with their machines. Here is a selection of Plek-related Instagram pictures.
James Stäger brachte seine Stratocaster zu uns mit einem ziemlich heftigen Backbow und Twist im Hals – und das obwohl der Halsspannstab bereits komplett gelöst war.
Nach einigem Überlegen kamen wir auf die Idee, aus dem Einweg-Trussrod einen Zweiweg-Trussrod zu machen. Den Twist konnten wir durch präzises Fräsen korrigieren.
Das Projekt ist gelungen und der Hals konnte gerettet werden.
Viel Spass damit, James! 🎸
James Stäger brought his Stratocaster to us with a serious backbow and twist in the neck – even though the truss rod was already fully loosened.
After some thinking, we came up with the idea of converting the one-way truss rod into a two-way truss rod. The twist was corrected with careful routing.
The project was a success and the neck was saved.
Enjoy it, James! 🎸 #fendercustomshop #guitarrepairs #gitarrenwerk #getplekd #fretboard

Some guitars tell a story… and some simply take your breath away! 🎸
Today, in the Cloe Guitars workshop, a stunning PRS McCarty, crafted for the legendary Robben Ford, landed on our bench.
With PLEK treatment and precision setup, every micro-adjustment invisible to the naked eye is refined, allowing the instrument to reach its fullest expression. ✨
When art, luthiery, and technology meet, the result is pure inspiration.

I had a great time today at the parrisguitars Electric Guitar Setup Class, 2026. I "finally" learned the proper way to setup electric guitars, both with and without tremolos, adjust action and intonation, adjust pickup height, and much more.
Our instructors, Bryan Parris and Rance Singleton were top notch, and they took plenty of time to help each student. The entire experience was fun and informative, with plenty of hands-on training.
I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn a proven, step-by-step system for setting up and maintaining your own guitars.

Over the years, we`ve come up with a bazillion solutions, and built tons of different tools to assist in centering and reattaching a completely severed headstock, and none of them have been completely ideal. This week we thought of a new one, which was embarrassing in just how completely obvious it was. We cut a sheet of plastic to sit flush with the face, and two holes to correspond to the truss rod cover holes. Set it, screw it down, and boom! Perfectly centered and ready to be glued and clamped. How did we not think of this before? Jeez.
