Plek owners – both builders and repairers – are rightly proud of the work they do with their machines. Here is a selection of Plek-related Instagram pictures.
When it rains it pours: this is the second 1965 Fender Stratocaster we`ve refretted this week.

There are many reasons your guitar can benefit from a fret level and it’s not always because of worn frets.
Many guitars that come in, suffer from a rise in the fretboard extension which is also known as the ‘ski ramp’.
This can cause notes in the higher registers to not ring out clearly and in the worst case, cause string bends to choke out, especially on the high e string.
This Fret King guitar has been through the PLEK scanner which quickly indicates where the problem frets are and shows a rise from fret 13 to the end of the fretboard.
These frets can now be carefully levelled down to bring them back in line with the plane of the other frets, allowing for trouble free bends and notes to ring out clearly.

Our refrets are clamped and glued overnight, in a caul that matches the radius of the fret board. This makes for a more solid and even fret seating, and subsequently requires removing less material in the fret leveling process later.

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.

"In order to make a bone nut from scratch, one must first invent the Universe" - Carl Sagan probably, in an alternate timeline, wherein he is employed as a guitar tech and not a scientist.

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!

Heute sagen wir Danke an quinho75 Markus Roth! 😊
Wir durften seinem Fender Jazz Bass und seiner Telecaster etwas Gutes tun: neuer Sattel, professionelles Plek-Setup – und jetzt spielen sich beide Instrumente wieder auf höchstem Niveau.
Viel Freude damit und allzeit gute Grooves! 🎸 ————————————————————————-
Today we’d like to say a big thank you to Markus Roth! 😊
We had the pleasure of working on his Fender Jazz Bass and Telecaster: a new nut, a professional Plek setup, and now both instruments are playing at their absolute best.
Enjoy them, and keep the grooves coming! 🎸 #gitarrenwerk #getplekd #guitarrepairshop #guitarepair #fretdress
