PLEK: THE ART OF THE FINGERBOARD

HIGH-END GUITAR TECHNOLOGY MADE IN GERMANY

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!

Scanner

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 Station

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.

Plek Pro / STS

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.

Heute sagen wir Danke an quinho75 Markus Roth! 😊

Wir durften seinem Fender Jazz Bass und seiner Telecaster etwas Gutes tun: neuer Sattel, professionelles Plek-Setup – und jetzt spielen sich beide Instrumente wieder auf höchstem Niveau.

Viel Freude damit und allzeit gute Grooves! 🎸 ————————————————————————-

No, you’re not looking at our new Bo Diddley signature model. 😂 This is our Mestric Universal Guitar Neck Jig that we use to mount our necks to when we put them through the PLEK for a fret dress and to have the nut slots cut. Every Mestric Guitar includes a PLEK setup to ensure you get a great playing guitar. This neck in particular will be joining with its body very soon. 😉 #mestricguitars #plekmachine #getplekd #fretdress
