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.

A special story from the history of Reh Guitars: This beautiful thinline was sold during the COVID-19 pandemic. After many years, we now had the unique opportunity to buy this beauty back.
In our workshop, it was completely overhauled and refinished. The highlight: a new neck, for which we crafted the fingerboard entirely from scratch on our Plek machining machine. The result is pure precision and an unmistakable sound.
See for yourself! We’ll be showcasing the guitar exclusively next week at the migs_montreux_guitar_show Montreux International Come by and experience the quality for yourself

Eine besondere Geschichte aus dem Leben von Reh Guitars: Diese wunderschöne Thinline wurde während der Corona-Zeit verkauft. Nach vielen Jahren hatten wir nun die einzigartige Möglichkeit, diese Schönheit zurückzukaufen.
In unserer Werkstatt wurde sie komplett überholt und neu verliehen. Der Highlight: Ein neuer Hals, bei dem wir das Griffbrett komplett neu auf unserer Plek-Bearbeitungsmaschine gefertigt haben. Das Ergebnis ist pure Präzision und ein unverwechselbarer Klang.
Lass dich selbst überzeugen! Wir stellen die Gitarre nächste Woche exklusiv auf der Montreux International Guitar Show im Casino Montreux aus. Kommt vorbei und überzeugt euch von der Qualität

Today, Ian is installing and calibrating a new fret cutter in the Plek machine. Swipe to see photos of the process, as well as to see the difference between a fresh cutter, and one that has just shy of 500 guitars worth of wear on it.

New (to us) Taylor to show off the goacousticaudio ES2 upgrade system and also what getplekd can do for an acoustic. Fantastic 2007 414ce. Not for sale. #knoxville #guitar #luthiers #parrisguitars #getplekd

Nach fünf Jahren Bestehen hat sich das Gitarrenwerk etwas Besonderes gegönnt: den neuen PLEK-Scanner. Während wir eure Instrumente bisher bereits mit der PLEK-Maschine präzise analysiert haben, bringt dieser neue Scanner eine deutliche Beschleunigung. Jetzt erstellen wir euch innerhalb von Minuten ein detailliertes Bild des Fretboards, um gemeinsam sofort das weitere Vorgehen zu besprechen.
Ein grosses Dankeschön an die Firma PLEK in Berlin und an Vladimir vom PLEK-Team für die hervorragende Unterstützung.

After five years in business, Gitarrenwerk has treated itself to something special: the new PLEK scanner. While we’ve already been using the PLEK machine to precisely analyze your instruments, this new scanner significantly speeds up the process. Now we can generate a detailed image of the fretboard in just a few minutes, so we can discuss the next steps together right away.
A big thank you to PLEK in Berlin and to Vladimir from the PLEK team for their outstanding support.

Today our Plek machine got a long overdue cleaning! Swipe for the before pic. Anyone want to take a guess guess at how many guitars worth of fret dust build up this is?

Nothing quite like a 90’s Taylor! This Dan Crary Signature model is in for a full refret, new nut and saddle, and a center-seam crack. Shown here “fretless” because we are first planing the fingerboard on the Plek machine. A new start for an amazing instrument! #getplekd #dancrary #taylorguitars #knoxville #tennessee
