You can’t play a sad song on a banjo, but you can have one PLEKed!

If you’re going to Jazz Fest, you know you’re going to see this guitar on stage. (Bonus if you happen to see Aaron on the side of one of the stages as well.)

Five sets of “Before and After” photos of a Greco Les Paul style guitar I just refretted with Stainless Steel frets and also refinished the fingerboard. The photos aren’t lined up on the same part of the fingerboard but you will get the general idea. 🤣 The radius on this was in very bad shape and required some major correction whilst being planed in the PLEK. Anyway, it’s all sorted now and ready to be setup. #guitarrepair #refret #guitarrepairs #getplekd #guitarrepairshop #refretting #fretwork #stainlesssteelfrets #luthierlife #luthier #japanesguitars #grecoguitars #greco #madeinjapan

I’ve just finished refretting this lovely Fender Custom Shop LTD Edition Esquire. The customer wanted Stainless Steel frets and I was happy to oblige. It received a new bone nut too. The goal of this Refret was to maintain the original finish and wear as much as possible. Another cool thing is that is has a 7.25-9.5” compound radius. The Fractal Fret Press comes in very handy for jobs like this. Last 3 photos are the “before” shots BTW. Now time to set it up and get it back into its owners hands. #guitarrepairshop #guitarrepair #getplekd #guitarrepairs #refret #fretwork #fenderguitars #refretting #telecasters #fractalfretpress #jedwardsguitars #fender #fenderguitar #fenderguitars #fendercustomshop #stainlesssteelfrets

Für aaronweg durften wir seine wunderbare #martinguitar die schon viele stunden Gitarrenspiel und Auftritte hinter sich hat restaurieren. Griffbrett abrichten, neue Bünde plus einen perfekt angepassten Knochensattel. Herzlichen Dank Aaron! #getplekd #refret #jescarfrets #gitarrenwerk #daddariostrings #singersongwriter #guitarplayer #bonenut #martinguitarswitzerland

I’ve had some doozy comments about the PLEK over the years, but I reckon this one takes the cake! 😂 I’m sure all my buddies who run a PLEK machine at their shops will get a kick out of having their Luthier status revoked the moment they turn on their machines in the morning. 🤖 Happy Friday everyone! #guitarrepairshop #guitarrepair #luthierlife #getplekd #luthier #plekmachine

CELEBATOR!!! Thanks for the beers, Scott! Nothing like a nice cold beer after a hard day of neck resets.

If you like funk, and you live in New Orleans (or elsewhere in this galaxy), you know this bass.

We squeezed a Leslie into a guitar! Our buddy John Maestas (of Bubble Bath Records, Trombone Shorty, David Shaw, Juan Tigre, etc.) wanted something different, and boy did he get it!
This effect from Pickup LesLee works in mono or stereo, and cycles back and forth between the neck and bridge pickup. Nothing really sounds like it - radical!

Here’s a question specifically for those of you interested in getting your Strat or Tele style guitar PLEK’d or Refretted. Especially if you live a long way from Port Macquarie. Would you be more inclined to have the work done if I were to offer the option to just have the neck sent here rather than the whole guitar? The obvious benefit would be the cost saving on freight for you. It would also allow anyone who is ordering a replacement neck from places like Warmoth etc to have them sent directly to me for fret dressing and a new bone nut if that’s what you are after? I have been asked this quite a few times over the years and have generally declined but I think I can make this work and potentially ease the freight cost barrier for you. What are your thoughts? #refret #refretting #guitarrepair #guitarrepairshop #guitarrepairs #fretwork #getplekd #fenderstratocaster #fenderguitars #fender #telecasters

Stoked to finally receive my long awaited carbon fiber replacement neck from klosguitar. I preordered this as soon as I learned they were going to make them. It finally arrived today. It’s EXACTLY what I hoped it would be. My 5-string American Professional II was only 9lbs but because the body is so light it was neck heavy and unplayable. The new neck, while only .1lb lighter than the stock neck, has a shorter headstock and a better center of gravity and it makes all the difference. It also came Plek’d and ready to install. GREAT WORK! I’m very happy! Total weight on this bass is 8.8lb. 😮 #knoxville #tennessee #guitargear #guitarrepair #luthier #getplekd

Had a Strat in the shop, with a complaint about a weak output. Turns out spray paint isn’t a terribly efficient conductor.
