    The worst part of the gibbon going under, (if it does actually happen) is the loss of work for me repairing broken headstocks, re dressing frets because of that stupid pleck BS and installing new machine heads that actually keep the strings in tune... to name just a few issues I seem to be always fixing.. Oh well, looks like I might have to wait a few more years before I can buy that 69' Chevvy Impala..

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Interesting that you mention pleck.
    I know nothing about it but thought that it was a good thing to get your guitar set up with it.
    Am I wrong?? And what is pleck that is better than getting a tech to set up your guitar ?

    From what I understand, a Plek Machine is a special CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machine that is used to level the frets of a guitar after they have been individually height-measured, it can supposedly level frets to a very high degree of precision, allowing optimal playability of a guitar, apparently the neck on my Gibson USA LP Studio guitar has been Pleked at the Gibson factory.
