augfive Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Im sure this has been discussed before, But your opinions/ experiences would be helpful. Anyone have a guitar plekke'd and notice a big difference? How much does it matter who is running the Plek machine? Anyone have it done at Wolfe guitars? thanks!
Number8 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I took one of my guitars to be Plek'ed at the Music Gallery in Highland Park, Illinois last year. It made a significant difference. I brought two more guitars in to be Plek'ed after that. Of the six guitars I own today, only one has not been Plek'ed.
peterbright Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Every pleked guitar I have played has been excellent.
pressure Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 After I had 1 guitar Pleked the results were so good I brought 4 more guitars in to be Pleked at The Music Gallery in Highland Park Illinois.
skydog Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 My h150 was originally a wolfe guitar and was plekked. The action is remarkably low.
volhoo Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Like anything - the machine is only as good as the operator - but in my opinion - there is no way a traditional luthier could even come close to dialing in the optimum set up that can be achieved with this technology. I am in the "do it" camp for sure - well worth the money - and if you are buying new from Jay Wolfe - he usually thaws in the service at no additional charge. -
Beagle216 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Do it!! I just recently pleked and will never go back!!
augfive Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Wow- so far, all positive for the Pleking. I am buying new from Wolfe guitars and was quoted $125.00, which about half price from what I've read so far.free would better though!
TalismanRich Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Does heritage offer this feature? No, Heritage had a plek years ago, but quit using it. I remember them saying it was an early version. It may not have been as good as current units
Beagle216 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I just played my SG again this morning and I have to say I cannot believe how well it plays after having this done. I was initially wondering why all my cords I was playing were out of tune even though the guitar was in tune, what I realized was I was pressing so hard because the action used to be so high and buzzed, to get it to play clean I had to press hard. All I have to do is lightly touch the strings in the shape of a chord and it rings out clean with zero buzz no matter how hard I beat it mercilessly. I have never played a guitar that was so easy to play, I am in complete disbelief at how easy it can be when the guitar is properly set up. I just don't see how the human eye could ever even come close to what a PLEK is capable of in the hands of a qualified Luthier.
