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.

Made some progress on the #deanfromhell replica this week and got the neck carve roughed in so I could set it into the body. All the routing is done, and the body is mostly final sanded. All that’s really left before paint prep is to finish carving and sanding the neck and contouring the heel. More on that later.

A coworker of mine here at Taylor asked for help making a body for this old 80’s kramerguitars neck he had kicking around, and of course I’m happy to oblige! He wanted a #pacer body, and I made one several years ago when I built my #5150 replica. I lost my template, but I used my replica body to make a new one.
I snagged an alder body blank and got to work.
After cutting out the body, I needed to reverse engineer a template for the old neck. Fairly simple process. Affix the neck on a template blank and find the center line. Make a heel pattern guide for the bottom of the heel. Affix a couple of straight edges on either side of the neck taper. Route it out, and boom you’ve got a template.
Also, pro tip. If you want to make a really snug fitting pocket, put a piece of binding tape on either side of the neck taper on the template itself.
Next up, pickup routes, control routes, and contours!
