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.

The build of this guitar will be posted over the next few months. We are taking suggestion for the body colour..
MIJ finished, corrected neck angle buy sanding neck pocket, if stamps are a issue we will always use a full contact shim from stewmac to stop ski jumps happening.... Guitar sounds awesome with brierley pickups....
heypaulfrank Paul Frank's Custom Johnny Marr Style Jaguar - this project has been in the works for ages. So stoked to see it complete. Paul got the paint from painthuffermetalflake and it was painted by roundyscustoms
Then Paul brought me a big box-o-parts. We had a few vintage necks to choose from. I opted for this '67 Bronco neck. Nice and straight but needed a refret. Built it, Plek'd it. Played it. It rocks. Fun project!

Repair is a big part of final assembly too. Good finish touch up and ding repair skills are essential parts of the job. You never want to get one back from inspection with the sticky arrow on it.
This one had a few small dings right in front of the bridge, a rough spot to try and sand/buff. Step one is heating it up with a heat gun to raise the grain back out so you don’t have to level it so much. Then I just sand it with a hard block and 2000. Then we do a 4 stage buffing process. Buffing around a glued on bridge is a pain in the ass, but it’s an essential skill here. I’ve gotten a lot of practice in 3 short months.
This one also had some pore filler that had bled through the rosewood and stained the label on the back. We just hit the label with heat for a few seconds and peel it up, then replace it.
All very simple repairs, but a big part of these guitars leaving the factory flawless.
