The PLEK Station

The Plek Station raises the quality of instruments to an extremely high and consistent level.

What is PLEK?

PLEK is a computer-controlled machine that can perform incredibly accurate scans of frets and fretboards, fret dressing and recrowns, nut and bridge cutting, and fretboard planning.

The Technology of PLEK

PLEK is a state-of-the-art, computer-guided process that scans, levels, and dresses your guitar’s frets to a microscopic level of accuracy for ideal action with no loss of sustain, minimized fret buzz, and no fretting out when bending strings, plus complete consistency whether you’re playing low or high on the neck.

What a PLEK job can do for your instrument

Are you experiencing any of the following issues?

Buzz areas on the fingerboard
Uneven fingerboard
Fret wear, uneven fret heights
Action is too high/too low for your playing style
Fret-Out: String tone dies away during bending due to unwanted contact with a fret

If you answered “yes” to any of the above then you might want to consider getting your instrument “PLEK’d”.

After analysis has completed, our technician will know:

Whether the trussrod needs to be tightened and by how much
Whether the nut and bridge need to be adjusted or replaced – overall or for individual strings
What the overall shape of the fingerboard is
What the neck relief is under each individual string, and whether it is as good as it could be
The height of the frets, and whether there are any potential buzzing issues
Whether the fret radius needs to be changed anywhere on the fingerboard
If there are buzzing issues, our technicians can see how much fret material needs to be removed to achieve optimal playability
Or perhaps your frets are so worn down that they need to be partially or completely replaced
