The Benefits of Pleking Your Gibson Acoustic | The Process S2 EP12

Watch Season 2, Episode 12 of The Process for an in-depth look at how Plek technology ensures every guitar leaving our Bozeman craftory is perfectly set up for you, the player. The guitar business has evolved in recent years. With guitars now often shipping directly to players, there’s no opportunity for a setup between leaving our craftory and arriving in your hands. That makes playability straight out of the box more critical than ever. That’s why we rely on Plek technology. Gibson TV’s award-winning docuseries, “The Process,” is returning for a second season! This time, we’re taking you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the physical process of making our acoustic guitars. “The Process” explores our newly expanded acoustic factory in Bozeman, MT, featuring interviews with the talented craftspeople who handcraft these beloved guitars and deep dives into the art of guitar making.                        Our guitars go through a rigorous QC process by the team who lovingly build and craft your Gibson acoustic guitar, and after they are complete, they are placed through an equally rigorous Plek process to fine-tune any issues the human eye simply cannot detect. Plek technology plays a vital role in ensuring every Gibson acoustic guitar is perfectly set up for optimal playability and reliability and ensures your guitar is perfect before it’s sent out to you, ready to join you on your musical journey. In this episode, we take you through the Gibson acoustic craftory in Bozeman, Montana, and take a closer look at the benefits of the Plek machine, a cutting-edge tool that virtually scans each guitar to deliver unmatched precision. From the first step, the virtual fret dress, which ensures smooth and level frets, to slotting the nut for precise string alignment, the Plek process guarantees a flawless setup. See how every Gibson acoustic guitar is Pleked to perfection, and see the care, pride, and expertise of the craftspeople who are dedicated to making your acoustic guitar not just great but exceptional, so it will last you a lifetime and beyond.
