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.

Made myself a northfield_instruments and besseytool_official clamp sandwich. Seriously impressed with these Northfield clamps. The Waterloo model is great for crowded soundholes and I can’t wait to reglue some bridges with these!

Here’s the second refret in a batch of 70’s poly board jobs keeping the original finish. The frets came out nice and clean sideways, until they didn’t. Those last six frets were so short (some as low as .020”) and buried in finish that only way they were coming out was up, and not without a fight. This was the more challenging of the two but I’m happy with the results. Once again, big ups to scalemodelguitars for the sage advice on these two jobs 🙌

70s poly board P bass refret keeping the original finish! Super stoked how this patience tester turned out. Big shoutout to scalemodelguitars who acted as the yoda on my back while I traipsed through the swamps of finish on this fretboard and another 70s poly board refret (this was the milder of the two). Peep the original frets swimming in poly in the last slide 🏊♂️
