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.

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.
