G&L's Plek machine - Precision Meets Craftsmanship

Some things about a guitar, such as the neck, require extra precision. That's where the Plek machine comes in. Take a look at what G&L uses to ensure that every neck that comes out of our factory is top notch. For more info on the Plek machine, go to http://www.plek.com/en_US/home.

When did G&L start using Plek machines?

It's height, not "heighth."

After watching this video, this Plek machine is definitely going on my xmas santa wishlist.

Hi Steve: Just acquired my 4th G&L, this time a Bluesboy Classic with the neck humbucker. This is another example of the great G&L guitar lines that I sure would love to have seen Leo & George get to enjoy watching their company's growth. Question: This is the second one in a row (got a 30th Anniversary Asat Special) that the fret ends were a bit rough and needed filing down. Is there a reason you know of that causes this? Blessings and Happy Thankgiving.

After the Plek you will be stuck using what ever guage strings that came with it. So, if you want 11's instead of 9's, you'll have to have it Plek'ed again.

very interesting video are tribute model necks made the same way with the plek machine as i have a tribute asat special, a tribute legacy and a tribute invader with the fixed bridge and two split able hummbuckers and would not trade them for the world my fenders and gibsons would have to go first along with my Rickenbacker 620. thats how good I rate my tribute's.

cheers  Clive

i thought Gibsons plant would be bigger, good job though.

I had a Plek job done on a neck and it cost about $200 so to have it done before hand is huge. Makes a big difference how the guitar sounds and plays.
