I Love how German he is. The attention to every detail in the big picture and dedicated work. His reaction when being called a genious is also very charming.

Having worked for 12 years in a factory with machines built by German engineers, I can attest that everything in that machine and its structure (and even the computer) are typical German industrial manufacturing. For a minute I thought I was back in the production line.

I was really hoping to see the final result where both of you play the instrument and give your impressions.

Rick has the good sense to let the interviewee talk without interruption.

I would think if guitar manufacturers were using this for all of their guitars, even the low end models would play wonderfully

Love this. The Plek is an incredibly sophisticated CNC machine, and like all CNCs, the quality and accuracy of the finished product depends entirely on the skill of the operator. It's a perfect mix of human and machine, the same as playing is the mix of the player and the instrument.

I love the fact he has programmed the machine to constantly be trying to improve the process , he made the machine to be like himself a perfectionist , he made the machine in his own image -Biblical π

Too cool!!! Two of my favorite people on YouTube, now if only Leland Sklar and Tim Pierce had shown up, this would be perfect. πππΈ

Makes me proud to see how you present him here. I live in Berlin and once went to the shop while my daughter went to her danceclass in another shop nearby. He s really a nice guy beside being a genius π

I do love that Rick picks out different talented people to look at these things with.
he's a really cool guy, knows a lot and you know if he's working with, talking to someone they have skills.

I have 2 Plek'd guitars. They play awesome. It's an amazing invention.

Rick told that story during his show and my wife asked me "what's a Plek machine"....and I had no idea. Thx for that video, now we know! Very impressive!

Plek is indeed fantastic. There's a shop here in Northern California with one, I've had them plek both my Strat and my 335 (and my new Taylor acoustic will go in soon). The results were very good, and the specific thing that I did not expect was how much my Gibson was improved by the way the plek re-crowned the frets - made a huge difference in the quality of the tone of notes.

To quote another commenter: "I will never play at the level I'd benefit from this" but I admire the thought and care that have gone into the machine's development, and have read nothing but good things about the results.

Incredibly interesting and what engineering. Amazing how musicians think and then implement what they desire. So, COOL. Thank you for making this amazing and informative video.

Incredible piece of engineering. Thanks for the tour.

I had my Cole Clark FL2 serviced and put through their Plek machine. It cost a bit, but boy, was it worth it! The guitar is - not only like new, it's better! Thanks Mary for letting us meet the originator of this wonderful tool for setting up a guitar.

You really do have excellent, first class, diction and beautiful articulation of words and phrases. It's lovely to hear the English language spoken so well. This is increasingly unusual.

The βdaddy-daughter-dayβ duo that all guitarists needed. π
