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.

The number of traveling musicians, recording artists, and on-the-go producers is growing fast.

We are very happy to welcome Gitarrenwerk in Switzerland to the Plek family. It was great spending three days training Lukas and Renè on their new PlekStation. If you are in Switzerland and need your instrument Plek’d give Gitarrenwerk a visit! #gitarrenwerk #getplekd

Frankie goes to gitarrenwerk 😍
Spent an awesome afternoon visiting my old friend and guitar hero lukas_schwengeler and his brand new workshop featuring the almighty getplekd machine!
So cool to catch up after all these years! Over 10 years ago we used to geek out countless hours over all things 🎸
So if you’re a guitarist or bass player there’s no way around this place!

The PLEK isn’t just a machine: it’s a process. Every Fret Level we do goes through multiple stages of work, both before, during, and after it’s time in the PLEK. After leveling the frets, we spend around 30 minutes on each instrument, sanding out the machining marks left on the frets and polishing them to a mirror shine. After this it goes on to the final setup and play test. Only when all this is done is the PLEK process complete. It’s a lot of work, but the results are absolutely worth it.

On the bench today. This one even looks good from the back with the aged mahogany neck. #plek #lollarp90s #masterybridge
You might be a redneck if the PLEK scanning sensor leaves tracks through the muck on your fretboard.

We often say the PLEK isn’t any easy bake oven, and one can’t just throw a guitar in the machine and expect it to come out perfect. We make a lot of decisions, truss rod tweaks, and programming for each instrument, tailoring the PLEK process for each individual player. We’ve been working with the PLEK for over 10 years in our shop and previous shops (SF Guitarworks Guitar Repair & Fodera Guitars), and we have the experience to get the most out it and make your guitar play it’s absolute best.
