Plek Finder
We undercut and file away the fret tangs every time we refret a bound neck. This adds about 30 minutes to every refret, but it`s absolutely crucial for getting the fret to seat properly.

Refret, nut, and new wiring harness for this super vibey 70s Jazz bass. this bass has a round laminate fingerboard, which are notoriously thin and don’t like to accept modern fretwire. after truing up the fingerboard with the PLEK, we used our fret trimmer to shorten the fret tang, which makes it possible to install modern fretwire without sawing through the rosewood fingerboard. this bass is ready to rip for another 50 years!

AH NUTS! this music_man came in with a busted nut and the client requested a bone replacement. that’s all well and good, but you can’t just go slapping any ‘ol nut in there. music man basses after 2005 have compensated nuts as a standard, so that means the distance from the front edge of the nut shelf to the first fret is a bit shorter and a regularly carved nut won’t let the bass play in tune. we started off by fitting a blank and having the getplekd machine do the slots and top shaping. from there we measured the compensation on the old nut and got to hogging with a dremel. came out great and the bass plays in tune! come see us for all your nut needs! #getplekd

EVERTUNE || we’ve set up hundreds of evertune equipped guitars over the years and we really like them. the ability to set your preferred perfect bend or even no bend at all and maintain perfect tuning is awesome, especially when recording and playing live. this one took a ride in the getplekd machine and got a custom buffalo horn nut. the plek is a nut making game changer; we can dial it in to perfectly cut and space for any number of strings and gauges. enjoy! #getplekd
