    I had a guitar shop do a PLEK service for free on a guitar I bought from them, and it was not an expensive guitar (it was a Reverend). Before shipping the guitar out to me, they realised it had some problems. Because they didn't have another to give me, they fixed it with the PLEK machine for free. Now it's my favourite guitar.

      Sweetwater does and I agree you're absolutely right. Or at the very least they should give buyers the option as most beginner guitarists don't necessarily need a proper guitar set-up. It's all a money game though, they care more about making money rather than going that extra length to please their customers (which they should do!)

    Years ago, you'd take your car for new tyres, and the guy would drive forwards and backwards over a couple of devices with moving pointers, which helped him to adjust the tracking. Now, they attach lasers to the wheels, to do the job much more scientifically. I see the Plek as being a bit like this. You'd expect the result to be just that bit better, and more confidence-inspiring than with the old method. Regarding guitars, I do all my own setups (even a refret, which turned out ok), but if I wasn't handy, or couldn't get to a trustworthy tech, I'd get my guitars Plekked without hesitation. One other thing though: it'll only be as good as the person operating it.

    There is a plek down the road a few miles from me...had 2 guitars done over the years. Just spot on perfect. It's a way to take some of those not quite so perfect Indonesian guitars to perfection...and to my specs!!! I have some gibson LPs that were great from the factory and one very beautiful Epiphone that had a high fret or 2 and some other rough spots, it is now my favorite player of the bunch after the plek! I have set up 100s of guitars over the years for many people and have all the tools, but had to try the plek and was not disappointed.

    Just a note to people who don't understand what this machine is. It's worth doing this to a new guitar you think might not be playing correctly or a really old guitar you haven't played in years. Most adjustments and maintenence can be done by hand and is pretty simple. You don't need to go to a plec machine every time your guitar doesn't stay in tune.

    I had my '93 Gibson Nighthawk Plek'd here in Dallas at Tone Shop Guitars, and it was one of the best things that I could have done for that guitar. Above and beyond the Plek is the polish and set up done by the tech. That makes all the difference in the world. But you'll never get the same quality set up without the Plek that you would with it. I'm certain Andertons techs are top notch, so I wouldn't give it a second thought of taking mine in to have it done there. I absolutely recommend this process. You won't be sorry.

    This was the weirdest experience ever. I never expected to hear Lee being the voice over for business promo video.
    After seeing the PRS factory tour though, I don't want Plek, I want the PRS people.
    However, as someone who studies machine engineering and has had his touch with measuring machines and manufacturing machines, Plek does fascinate me a lot. It's like seeing the fundamentals of your field in action in your hobby.

    In the USA, at Sweetwater, Plek costs $299. I think at that price-point, no matter how good it is, the average guitar player isn't going to shell out an extra $300 for the Plek.

    • @jeffreypinnow
      @jeffreypinnow Рік тому +2

      Generally though if you order from Sweetwater you can offset some of that cost by calling your sales rep and seeing what sort of deal they can make you. It's never going to be the full cost of a plek but in my experience it offsets it enough to make it worth it beyond an entry level guitar.

      @whiskeytangofoxtrot9403 exactly. On anything above entry level it's worth it but entry level stuff is just throwing away money. I wouldn't plek an Epiphpone, Squier, or PRS SE, but for a proper Gibson or Player Series (or above Fender or American made PRS, it's probably worth it. Though the PRS are so well made in the S2 and core lines. You probably don't need to.

    Very interesting to see the actual Plek process. This may be a silly question, but given the orientation of the guitar during the fret levelling and the fact it's done fully assembled, is there any kind of protection to stop metal dust from the filing making its way into the pickups through the pull of the magnets? I always see people advising against getting wire wool anywhere near pickups for this very reason...

      @@Shadow-of-Mampang Nickel is magnetic. So is Iron. But iron in the form of most stainless steels is non-magnetic and nickel in the form of nickel silver is also non-magnetic. MrSongwriter2 is correct. Most of the concern of magnetic particles from fret work damaging pickups are from wire wool - which IS magnetic and from the gritty nature of the fret filings and abrasive materials which can get into and damage the pickup windings. In truth, the risk is probably overstated but it is worth the effort to protect pickups just in case.
      The plek machine appears to use large grinding wheels to cut the frets. I suspect the may be suction hoses removing any particles but I don't know for sure.

    Lee’s voiceover sounds like an AI reproduction, but I must admit it’s very relaxing and makes me want a Plek!

    Promote 'em all, I say, because this is true: if you haven't gotten a plek job from a superior officer, well, you're just letting the best in life pass you by...

    Soon every guitar shop will have a Plek machine so you can put a quarter in and get your own guitar pleked. 😃

    Never heard of this till you. Yet there have been plenty of icons that made it work without science but with soul and feel and touch and creativeness. I can’t play guitar yet, but I think my heros figured it out without your voodoo and measured science. GIMMICK and I plan not to follow you from across the pond for this.

    So fret polish with the strings on. Or do you just waste a fresh set of strings?

    I built maybe 30 guitars a decade ago or so. Each one was different, each one had some personality, each one was shaped, assembled and finished by my hands. I see plekking as another situation where technology pretends to replace expertise and craftsmanship. If a guitar is built carefully and correctly, it should not need to be plekked, but again, these stores sell mass produced factory-built guitars, so maybe there is just not enough care and time spent on them by the manufacturer and they need this to be usable?

    I wonder if it would sort out my John Thomas?
    I have had my Prs pleked down at Old Mrs Tartleys Magical Plekkery, but am a little nervous about entrusting my John Thomas to a computer with a grinder attached.
    Has anyone else had their John Thomas ground upon by a plek machine?
    I would like Lee Anderton to do my John Thomas manually, with his bare hands.

    Great informative video. I've had a pleck job done on one of my newer Strats (Professional II). It does make an amazing difference on a new guitar setup if done correctly; that guitar plays perfectly to my specifications... noticeably perfect and really nice. Don' know why, but I am hesitant to have it done on the 61 vintage II strat that I am going to order. Seems like taking a cool retro guitar and making it too perfect and somehow modern... and I would wonder if it would mess with my cool 7.25 radius. So I probably will skip in on that beauty. I don't want a robotic machine getting its mitts on my 61 classic beauty...
