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.

Plek is more than just a machine, it is an entire process environment that helps you to achieve optimum playability for your instruments. Take a look at our Plek System feature for some insight into how the Plek world fits together.
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.

The PLEK is a complex machine, and isnโt a set-it-and-forget-it tool. It requires a skilled tech to get the most out of it. Our resident PLEK wizard Scott has done hundreds of fret jobs before he joined us at our shop, and he applies his extensive experience to every PLEK process. If you havenโt played an instrument thatโs been properly PLEKed and set up, youโre missing out!

This 814 was returned with shipping damage. These are some of my favorite models we make, I personally love #rosewood sides and back guitars for the way they sound and feel while playing. The top was separated on almost the entire lower bout, plus the gnarly crack on the side. This entire repair was done with CA, what we call a โjet and buffโ here in the shop.
Step one is gluing everything in place. Step two is cleaning up any pockets or low spots with little drop fills as I keep leveling it out. We want to avoid packing any of those low areas with finish dust, and when that happens Iโll dig it back out with a double edged scalpel style blade. Then I drop fill those areas and keep sanding to level out with 1000 grit on a DA sander or with a block. Then sand up to 2000. Then buff with a 4-stage buffing process. Itโs hard to make damage like this look like it never happened, so Iโm pretty happy with this end result.

People like the Xu Strings picks so much (I mean, who doesn't like free picks?), I ordered more of them! I got some in the Jazz-size as well as some thinner celluloid ones. Grab one or a few when you're in!
Also, the holiday rush has already started! The SJT (small job turnaround) is up to TWO weeks now. We still have an express service for a day or two turnaround for priority work.
And if you're shopping for holiday gifts, we've got a lot of things in stock that will make many a musician happy!
Happy Thanksgiving and happy holiday season in advance!
