There are a lot of very active luthiers out there on Instagram, and many of them are posting fascinating pictures of their work with their Plek machines, using hashtags like #getplekd, #plekplayers, #plekmachine and #plekeverything. We’re going to be following them closely, and of course reposting anything that we feel to be particularly relevant. In addition, we’ll be giving you some insight into what’s going on here at Plek in Berlin, as well as providing updates on Plek technology. Come and check us out!

Creative problems call for creative solutions: When asked to install a Les Paul style switch in the upper horn of a Tele style guitar, and presented with the problem with how to install a flat plastic backplate over the belly carve, what did we do? We made our own, super deep backplate out of ebony, and carved it to follow the Tele`s belly cut! Neato!

Martin Vetterli hat schon einige Gitarren bei uns nach seinen Vorstellungen umbauen lassen. 🙏
Bei dieser Suhr waren die schwarzen Dots im dunklen Roasted-Maple-Hals mit den Jahren kaum noch sichtbar. Also raus damit und helle Perlmutt Dots rein. Dazu haben wir die Gitarre geplekt und einen neuen Knochensattel angefertigt.
Danke Martin, viel Freude damit!
Martin Vetterli has already had a few guitars modified by us to match his preferences.🙏
On this Suhr, the black dots had become almost invisible against the dark roasted maple neck over the years. So we replaced them with light mother-of-pearl dots. We also pleked the guitar and made a new bone nut.
Thanks Martin, enjoy! #gitarrenwerk #getplekd #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #suhrguitars

My last job in the PLEK ever? Apparently not! It was supposed to be, but as it happens, I will now be keeping a PLEK machine rather than selling both and carrying on as usual offering refrets and PLEK setups into the future. I intend to broaden my offering too with some services aimed at builders, repairers, HSC students and the like. And expand my Neck-Only Refret and PLEK services. More on that as I build out my plan. In the meantime, I am now taking bookings again for PLEK setups and Refrets from November onwards. You can book a PLEK setup via our website or please contact me about getting a Refret. Cheers, Rob. #getplekd #plekmachine #luthier #guitarrepair

It is with great sadness that we are saying goodbye to our dear friend Darnell, who after 15 years of deliveries and friendship, is being moved to a different route today by UPS. Darnell is a hero to our neighborhood: he always comes in with a smile, a sunny disposition, and has always gone the extra mile to make sure our stuff makes it directly into our hands. We`ve always considered him to be part of our team, and looked forward to seeing him every day. We`re going to miss him immensely. Much love to you, friend! You`re the greatest! Godspeed!

One aspect of our job that we dread is beveling giant stainless steel frets during a refret. We try to work smarter, not harder, in almost every aspect of our shop, but there are some jobs we just have to muscle through. Maybe someday some AI powered robot will do this for us (and put us out of work), but not today.
