PLEK Machine

PLEK is a computerized, three-axis, CNC machine designed and programmed for precision guitar measurement, fret dressing, nut cutting, and saddle cutting for acoustic, electric, classical, and bass guitars. PLEK machines are built and sold by A+D Gitarrentechnologie of Berlin, Germany. The machines were developed by musician and guitar instructor Gerd Anke with his partner Michael Dubach, who called their company PLEKTRON when it was founded in 1990. Some guitar manufacturers, such as Gibson, put all their instruments through the PLEK process while others only put their high-end instruments through a PLEK machines. There are aftermarket guitar technicians who offer PLEK services as well.
