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!)
Considering that any two guitars-even of the same model & spec-won’t have exactly the same issues, I’m not sure how much light this would shed on anything.
I have a guitar that was Pleked by Martin when I bought it. Definitely does an excellent job of leveling and crowning. What it doesn't do is dress the fret ends. That still takes a person to do that work as far as I know.
I used to set up and program CNC lathes in a machine shop and do the inspection on all the parts in my department. This geeky video is exactly what I like.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A good idea for a video would be 'plek'd squire' vs 'master built fender' just looking at fretwork and lowest action before it frets out (with same radius).
Fantastic Lee, good to know you have one of these wonderful machines, I used to operate one in the states a few years ago. you can't get a better paying feel once you have one guitar Pleked, you want them all Pleked......
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.
@@Shadow-of-Mampang so explain to me how when I take a piece of fretwire and put it on a rescued extremely strong hard disk magnet there is NO magnetic reaction?????? Where as if I put anything steel on it I have to pry it off with a lot of force?
Hi ! thanks for all your videos, will Anderton's team do videos at Namm 2024? i'll always remember your videos at namm before covid. they very interresting and quite entrertaining. happy new year by the way
Yeah I’m a terrible player too and I’m not going to pretend I even know what good frets feel like but I did just get a new guitar Plek’d and it is the easiest playing guitar I own.
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.
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.
@@EnglishVeteranto a 1000th of an inch?! Youre asking for Patek Phillipe engineering on a Sekonda watch. Pretty much all guitars ARE levelled correctly, and plenty of music has been successfully composed, performed and sold on non-Plek’d guitars.
Are you mental? He'd never agree to that. The whole story of Pete and that guitar is the magic he felt when he picked it up. Pleking it would totally destroy that guitar's character.
Wow! Thanks for this video! I have never had a guitar pleked but it is very interesting to see what is actually done and how it comes to the final outcome!
Sweetwater charges $300 and I’ve seen lots of complaints that the actual setup wasn’t done that well. For 100 quid on top of a good setup, I’d gladly pay Anderton’s
I'm surprised how well you have priced that service. I'm usually good at guessing the price of things and I was way over. I am tempted to abuse this lol. I am looking at building a few guitars from scratch but adjusting the nut, fret height, bridge height and truss rod was putting me off. Now I don't have to worry because you have to do it all! (manic laughter).
The new SixStringers Fret Maestro is a personal plek😉👍 And...it's only $130.00 The Plek is an amazing tool for any guiarist that doesn't do their own maintenance 😎👍👍
Genuine question, after the fret grinding the shot focused on the metal dust showing what was removed. Surely some of that metal dust falls on the pickups and held there by the magnets?
Me too, as long as you're handy with tools; which many people aren't. I do all my own setups, mainly using tools that I already have in my workshop, and not "proper" luthier tools.
Definitely need to invite Dan and Mick over for a joint broadcast about Plek. Mick is so finicky, he'll give a truthful review of one of his guitars being done.
Not sure even a robot can do anything with my ibanez jem, from 1989. The guitar would probably disintegrate and fall apart, under vibration. 170 quid to do it seems reasonable, pity I couldn't send it and have to go to the Andertons store to drop it off and pick it up.
@@somethingbl Tell them what? High ,low, etc. are almost meaningless. The purchaser would need to give numbers that could be measured otherwise it is the luthiers interpretation of phrases.
@@sometimesdimneverthin PLEKing just makes the frets as level as possible, the set-up preferences (action height, string gauge, etc.) are personal preferences that can be communicated to a luthier after the PLEK.
@@somethingbl Lee said that it was worth doing even if the manufacturer Pleked first basically because we are all different. This means a Gibson purchaser of a factory Pleked guitar would pay Andertons to Plek again and luthier fine tune. As the customer is most likely several miles away how would those precise details be provided to Andertons? I am a terrible guitar player which means my idea of low action is very different to a pros. My low could be another person's high but even then my idea of high could be another's low.
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...
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.
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...
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.
I just love the bit at the beginning of this video when the operator loads the victim guitar into the machine and secures it... with VELCRO!!!! Yeah - that really inspires confidence! Seriously, though it might sound a little Luddite (look it up), what's wrong with a human doing something carefuly and caringly - by hand? And, compared with the human cost of, say, a few hundred Calories for an hour's work, how much does it COST a) The guitar owner, b) the Plek owner, c) the Environment... to run a machine like this? My guess is that it's a lot more "cost-effective" for Lee Anderton et al (in savings on the human cost of employees)... and NOT so cost-effective for the environment!!! But.. whatever your opinions... are you REALLY going to trust YOUR beloved guitar to some guy who sticks in it a perspex box, held down with VELCRO?!?!?! 🙂
What makes you think you can explain the workings of an ultra-complicated piece of kit like a PLEK in 4 and a half minutes?? Yeesh! +1 for someone's comment about getting Mick and Dan in for their comments. I'm sure Dan would find more to say. On the other hand, this is just PR (advert) so I wasn't expecting many details.

Every guitar manufacturer should do this. It should be industry standard!

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!)
Please do a plek and non plek guitar comparison of the same guitar model/spec. Many thanks.
And it must be 'Blindfolded'. Not necessarily literally, but you shouldn't know which is which.
This seems like something you would physically have to try for yourself to feel the difference.
Considering that any two guitars-even of the same model & spec-won’t have exactly the same issues, I’m not sure how much light this would shed on anything.
@@RobertFisher1969 Ohhhh Dad... You spoil everything 😉
Plek Squier vs Custom Shop
I have a guitar that was Pleked by Martin when I bought it. Definitely does an excellent job of leveling and crowning. What it doesn't do is dress the fret ends. That still takes a person to do that work as far as I know.
Yup, and they charge for that too. Just say it starts at 299 and goes up from there. Very quickly you can see a price of 500 or more.

That was so relaxing. Thank you captain
How about adding a Plek set up option to the new guitars you sell? Adding value to the instruments you see.
Sweetwater does add the option for 299.00 Usd.
