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 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.

New mod alert! Sick of playing all those wrong notes? We’re now offering a bridge-less guitar mod, so you can’t string it up - and with no strings, that means no more wrong notes!
Actually, this is the halfway point between filling a Floyd Rose route and creating a new route for an Evertune bridge. You’d never know there was ever a hole in the first place, even if you look super close.

Our former intern Grayson dropped by the shop for a visit! Grayson spent a month with us seven years ago as part of his senior project, and has since been wandering the globe working in conservation and woodworking gigs. We didn’t have the PLEK when he was last with us, so Aaron spent some time going over the process and showing all the cool new stuff. It was rad catching up and hearing of his adventures. *sniffle* They grow up so fast!

Fourteen years of wrenching on your Floyd Rose equipped guitars got us all bent out of shape.

För en vecka sen slog vi upp portarna till Umeå Guitarshow 2025. Nu har vi haft en vecka med full fart i verkstan och samtidigt återhämtat oss från tusen intryck, möten och nya vänner. På måndag är ni välkomna in till oss på verkstan med frågor, reparationsobjekt eller kanske för att passa på att lämna in ett instrument för plek?
Trevlig helg!

We’ve been cutting holes in your guitars (on purpose!) for 14 years. We’ll also plug ‘em too, which is what we’re doing here. We’re removing the Floyd and filling the route, prepping it for an Evertune install (which will be completed by the good folks at Evertune).

The winner of our last collaborative giveaway with highergroundmusic came in to claim their prize: a full set up and PLEK service!
This state of the art machine has the ability to precisely level and dress frets on guitars and other fretted instruments. The machine will scan the fingerboard and frets under string tension to capture detailed information about the fret positions, heights and the neck relief. The collected data is used to create a high resolution analysis of the frets and fingerboard and identify any problem areas.
The getplekd PLEK machine will level and radius the frets to a high degree of precision, for optimal playability, within an accuracy of .001 inches.
Reach out to our staff if you’re interested in scheduling a PLEK service for your instrument!

Woooow… diese #vintagemartinguitar von #1968 ist was ganz besonders ❤️ Assel Rüber war mein Sing und Zeichnungslehrer in der Oberstufe. Mit dieser Gitarre begleitete er auch im Unterricht. Ab und zu winkte er mich aus der Klasse und wir spielten in seinem Bandraum der ebenfalls in dem Gebäude war einen Blues zusammen. Er ist ein wahrer Musikliebhaber und Förderer 🙏 Diese Gitarre bekam vor Jahren ein wunderbaren #neckreset von den tollen Leuten diegitarre_winterthur 💪 Da die Gitarre nach den Jahren nicht mehr so gut intonierte durften wir ein #fretboardleveling und ein #refret durchführen. So eine Vintage Martin hat noch keinen verstellbaren #trussrod . Mit unserer Maschine können wir unter Saitenspannung das Griffbrett vermessen und auf die ideale Krümmung Fräsen. Die perfekte Grundlage für eine leicht bespielbare und Stimmige Gitarre. Herzlichen Dank Assel 🙏 #gitarrenwerk #getplekd #jescarfrets #martinguitarswitzerland #guitarrepairshop #martinguitars #vintage #guitarrepair #martinstrings #singersongwriter #musiclovers

Alright, we see this far too often, so perhaps it’s time for a PSA: stop putting your Schaller straplocks on upside down! You don’t want the open end pointing towards the floor - the strap button should be supported from the bottom of the U-shape on the locking mechanism. If you have them upside down (like on this strap), the only thing stopping your guitar from plummeting to the floor is the small spring inside. Flip ‘em over, people!

Eric McFadden in the house! We’ve been working with Eric since our days in San Francisco. He’s in town playing with Anders Osborne, Norwood Fisher, and a bunch of others. He’s an incredible musician and a really good dude. Catch him if you can!

Die #martinguitar #vs28 von jessie_wezel hatte ein grundlegendes Problem. Das Griffbrett machte eine grosse Steigung dort wo es auf den Korpus kommt. Gut zu sehen auf dem letzten Bild. Darum entfernten wir die Bünde und frästen das Griffbrett neu. Wir können mit unserer #plekmachine unter Saitenspannung die Messungen machen und auch die Bearbeitungen vornehmen. Danach die Neubundierung wo die Abrichtung ebenfalls mit der Maschine erfolgt. Wir wünschen dir viele weitere kreative Stunden und Momente mit deinem tollen Instrument . Dankeschön Jessy! #getplekd #gitarrenwerk #refret #fretboardleveling #guitarrepairs #martinguitarswitzerland #fretleveling #elixirstrings #acousticguitarplayer #acousticguitarlovers #jescarfrets #bonenut kaschmir_band
