Get your neck Pleked....
You'll never have a problem and you can get the action lower than 1/16 at the last fret.

+1, A plek feels good!

 

[Roubster]

And this pleking thing is what? Never heard that before. Is that equivelent to shiming?

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Its basically a fancy fret dress. Check it out at http://www.plek.de/

 

[jazzbo jim]

Yes, but what does it cost to get "Plek'd"? (as opposed to "Plooked"? )

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

The last one I had done was about £100. Well worth it.

 

[jazzbo jim]

By "well worth it" does that mean "mind-blowingingly good and far better than anything any tech has ever done for you"?

I would love to play a guitar that had that done. I am suspect of things like this. I have this way of making action really low on guitars.....It's called a good fretjob

 

[jazzbo jim]

I'm with you Jon-I'm more than a little sceptical about strapping my prized EBMM into a machine and pressing "go" ..but I've heard good stuff also.

Let's get some forumites to provide some feedback

 

[jongitarz]

Screw that..I wanna play one!

PM me for my address..I promise to return the guitar

 

[jongitarz]

Um...Yeah....Me too....heh heh heh

 

[Roubster]

Yea, I doubt I really need that. PLus I still have no idea whatta hell all that means because that website is in German. I am from Slovak Republic, not TOO far from Germany, but still have NO clue what it all means. I think all I need is for someone like Tommy or Jon to set up my Silo nicely and show me how to do it properly. Well I guess I have to go with Tommy, because Jon you are way too far from NYC. However if I had money I would take a road trip to get the hell out of this conrete town.

I agree Jon, but there isn't a human in the world that can do as good a job as a Plek job...
Dead on perfect, not a single flaw in the world...

Here is a pic of one of my Pleked necks...
It measures less than a mm at the first fret, and less than 1/16 at the 22 fret.
There is not a buzz to be found nomatter how hard you hit the strings.
Take notice that sitting between the first fret and the nut is a regular heavy pic. You can see that the space between the low E and the fret is less than 1/4 the thickness of the pick.
The other picture is the same pick at the 12th fret, and it's locked in there actually bowing up the string because there is not enough room to fit the pick...
Trust me, this is a $4000 guitar...
I would have it no other way. My Morses and Axis are headed to the shop to be Pleked....

 

[jongitarz]

I just did a spot check on 5 of my guitars. All of them have the same measurements as your plecked guitar. All have "old school" fret jobs. I am not saying your guitars don't kick ass, but I am saying it seems that a good fret job will do the same thing...But I do want to play a guitar that has had this done to it.
