PLEK Overview

Your guitar is thoroughly inspected for any issues or damage. The PLEK meticulously scans every aspect of your guitar — each individual string path from nut to bridge, at one-thousandth of a millimeter resolution — measuring nut slots, radius, frets, neck relief, and action. It provides a complete map of the neck, allowing the tech to perform an ultra-precise setup.

  • Expert Interpretation

    A skilled technician interprets the data, devising a customized plan.

PLEK Technology Applied to Playability

  1. Step 1

    First, the PLEK scan is conducted to determine the overall condition of the neck and provide the information needed to correctly and accurately adjust the truss rod.

  2. Step 2

    A “virtual fret dress” is conducted, enabling our tech to accurately create a PLEK procedure that resolves playability issues, customized to the player's unique style.

  3. Step 3

    We tailor each fret dress to the set action, considering string size, scale, nut height, and more. The frets are fine-tuned for each string, since thicker strings need more relief and thinner strings need less.

  4. Step 4

    The scan provides detailed information about the string action, so the final setup can be completed with excellence.

  5. Step 5

    Nut and saddle information is used to determine any other setup adjustments needed for an optimized playing experience.
