PLEK CnC guitar neck/fret setup

Once an artform that took time to perfect...

I bought a 2011 gibson Les paul years ago because it had the plek treatment. I thought it would be a good idea for my tendinitis.  I was able to put the first string less than 1mm at fret 12 then I figure out I don´t like low action.  The guitar had other problems the nut was not cutted with the plek machine.  I sold the guitar. Still think it is a good thing to have probably better with high frets at least for my preference.

Geez, that's neat. I have cheap guitars (well, a couple collectible as well), not sure it would be worth getting one done. I do my own setups and once I've tweaked enough I like the way they play.

I haven't heard of this nor the guitar store, even though I live in the area. I wonder if I don't get out enough.

I wonder if they keep stats (surely they do) on which brands are the best set up from the factory.

after some watching and a google, we have one of these machines about 45 minutes down the road.  might be worth taking it for a test drive.

Chunger had some epic threads on Talk Bass where he went into great detail on Plek's:
