JTM 45 probably sounds a bit sweeter - but the EL34's are a nice change of pace I'm sure. Incredible condition of that amp.

I'm no tech (in fact it was my ill-judged fumblings that necessitated the set-up!) but I am a player, and I just love the feel of the Plek'd frets- so smooth and even. I don't think its intended to replace a good tech- its their job to set the guitar up, but in the knowledge that the frets and neck are optimised by the Plek. I'm sure a good tech could do it all, but not to the tolerances and minimised fret filing of the Plek. I was sufficiently impressed that I booked my other 'main' guitar straight in to the same shop in the UK. If it wasn't good, I'm sure John Suhr wouldn't have one!

What are they going to list them for? Where can I get some more information on them and their pending release? Thanks, Scott Totally beside myself that they finally came to their senses to make more of these. What are they going to list them for?

I seriously considered purchasing a machine until I learned more about it. The Sales People and Techs of PLEK will tell you that the machine is only as good as your best luthier. The machine only does part of the job and is a real time saver when your making a thousand guitars a day. The machine is designed for a factory production line. If you get an existing guitar "Pleked," The setup time really isn't worth the cost of the machine. Existing guitars that need fret leveling, recrowning may have lose frets causing the uneven frets. The lose fret would have to be identified and glued down prior to the Plek process. Not worth the cost. An experienced luthier specializing in fretwork can do the ENTIRE job form identifying neck/fret problems to final buffing for much less that getting a partial job done buy a Plek machine.
