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.
Our man Scott focuses on the tiny details. During each setup, we cut the nut slots for depth, matching the string gauges. A properly cut nut ensures that the guitar plays easy in the lower registers, and helps all your cowboy chords are in tune.

How it went / how it’s going.
Our buddy Tab had resorted to stuffing strings into his neck to keep it from shifting in the pocket. We yanked those out and installed dowels in the holes (alder in the body, maple in the neck), and reinstalled the neck screws into fresh wood. It’s now solid enough for Tab to give it his usual thrashing. Great success!

We were gifted this adaptable clamp tool eight years ago, and today we finally found a use for it! We needed to drill out a broken bolt out of this weird little collet, which had to be held firmly in place - and this little tool did the trick! Thanks, Morgan Guitars!
