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.

Suuuuuper minty 72 Jazz Bass came through the shop for a setup so I snagged some photographic notes. Everything still original down to the foam mute on the bridge cover. Also wanted to point out the coiled cable burn you see on so many of these instruments! You can see the culprit in that picture of the case. Super fun bass that I’m glad I got to spend some time with.

Epiphone released the Mike Dirnt G3 bass guitar. First one I`ve seen in the wild. Plek`d it and dialed it in. Plays beautifully now. I had an original Gibson I regret selling. These are pretty cool reissue. #guitarrepair #bassguitar #mikedirntbass #epiphone #plek #getplekd #greenday

Here’s a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Custom I finished refretting with Stainless Steel frets last week. I also installed and cut a new bone nut on the PLEK at the same time to match the new fretwork. The last 3 photos are the “before” shots. #guitarrepairshop #refretting #getplekd #fretwork #stainlesssteelfrets #gibson #luthier #refret #gibsonguitars

Planar greppbrädan på en Fender Stratocaster i vår Plek innan gitarren ska få nya band. Inga problem om du önskar en annan radie på din gitarr. #getplekd #gitarrverkstad #fenderstratocaster

romain_svarts brachte gleich zwei spannende Gitarren zu uns! 🎸🔥
Die alte Tokai Strat erhielt ein komplettes Fretboard Leveling und neue Bünde. Der Trussrod war bereits maximal locker – wir haben ihn minimal gespannt und anschließend das Griffbrett neu gefräst. Jetzt ist er wieder voll funktionstüchtig und perfekt spielbar.👌
Die coole Gibson Silverburst bekam eine Plek-Behandlung, einen neuen Sattel und neue Potis.
Alles sitzt, klingt und spielt sich jetzt so, wie es soll.
Herzlichen Dank, Romain, für dein Vertrauen!

Romain brought us two exciting guitars! 🎸🔥
The vintage Tokai Strat received a full fretboard leveling and a refret. The truss rod was already completely loose – we tightened it just slightly and re-milled the fingerboard. Now it’s fully functional and plays beautifully again.
The awesome Gibson Silverburst got a Plek setup, a new nut, and fresh pots.
Everything is now dialed in, sounding and playing exactly as it should. 👌
Thank you, Romain, for your trust 🙏 #gitarrenwerk #gibsonlespaulcustom #silverburst #tokai #vintageguitars #refret #guitarrepairshop #getplekd #jescarfrets #guitarplayers #ernieball #guitarrepairs #weloveguitars #emersoncustom

It’s hard to photograph the Fiesta Red in its original color. It looks more faded in real life than in the photo.

We’re truly grateful for the trust of tommy_vetterli – legendary metal pioneer, musician, and producer. 🔥
All of his guitars, whether for the studio or his powerful live shows with #coroner , have passed through our workshop for full service: professional setups, detailed care, and of course a precise Plek treatment.
I’m proud to call Tommy not only an outstanding artist but also a friend.
And it’s a real honor to be mentioned in the thank-you notes of the new Coroner album #dissonance #theory – a record that is rightfully making waves internationally. A true masterpiece! 🎸🔥 ——
————————————————————————————Wir sind unglaublich happy für das Vertrauen von Tommy Vetterli – legendärer Metal-Pionier, Musiker und Produzent. 🔥
Alle seine Gitarren, egal ob für das Studio oder für die kraftvollen Live-Auftritte mit Coroner, waren bei uns im Service: professionelle Setups, umfassende Care-Work und natürlich eine präzise Plek-Behandlung.
Ich bin stolz, Tommy nicht nur als Künstler, sondern auch als Freund bezeichnen zu dürfen.
Und wir fühlen uns geehrt, sogar in den Danksagungen des neuen Coroner-Albums erwähnt zu sein – ein Werk, das international völlig zurecht durch die Decke geht. Ein echtes Meisterwerk!

Von der Werkbank auf die Bühne:
juan Camilo holte den maßgeschneiderten Reh Preci-Bass gestern im Gitarrenwerk ab und ging direkt zur Teddy-Show ins Hallenstadion Zürich. Dank präziser Fräsung und Bundierung klingt der Bass so, wie er klingen muss. Klarer, tighter und gut abgestimmt für Live-Sound. Die enge Abstimmung zwischen Reh Guitars, Gitarrenwerk und dem Künstler hat sich in der nahtlosen Übergabe vom Bau zur Bühne bezahlt gemacht. Großartige Zusammenarbeit. Wir freuen uns auf weitere gemeinsame Projekte.

From the workbench to the stage:
Juan Camilo picked up the custom Preci-Bass yesterday at the Guitar Workshop and headed straight to Teddy’s show at Hallenstadion Zurich. Thanks to precise milling and fretwork, the bass sounds exactly as it should. clearer, tighter, and well-suited for live sound. The close coordination between Reh Guitars, Gitarrenwerk, and the artist paid off in a seamless handoff from build to stage. Great collaboration. looking forward to more joint projects.

My Mestric Universal Guitar Neck Jig not only allows me to be able to mount different spec bolt-on necks due to it’s adjustable neck pocket, but I can also change out different bridges with a removable caddy system. For example, there is about a 4mm string spacing difference between a modern and vintage spec Strat bridge. This means I can get the correct string spacing for each neck as I put it through the PLEK. The jig can also accommodate different scale lengths. It’s a fun bit of kit! #guitarrepairshop #luthier #luthiertools #getplekd #mestricguitars

In conjunction with Tony (bandaguitars ) we did our first backstrap repair on a Gibson Les Paul. Typically, gluing is sufficient, but this was a second break on this one so regluing wasn’t an option. Thanks to ianhatesguitars for the awesome YouTube tutorial on how to make this successful! Tony did all the woodwork and I (Bryan) did the finish work. #guitarrepair #knoxville #gibsonguitars #getplekd #parrisguitars
