Pleking Anyone?

[Sybo]

Anyone had their LP pleked? I am in a good place with my LP neck, but could be better.  I know I could get those strings a little lower and a little cleaner sounding.......

Google BUZZ OFF, it's a kit that you can do some minor fret leveling with.  First take a precautionary step to check if any frets have lifted, there's some youtube content that can help explain that.

It's pretty easy to clean up a few high spots.

Dude I actually have that kit!! I have used on a Tele and it was great!! A little scared to do that to my Les Paul though😌

Plekking levels and evens them, corrects them in relation to each other, it's a fancy machine for what was once done by hand.  It isn't for lowering strings.  "a little cleaner sounding" generally doesn't happen by lowering them ever.

Yup, get the neck dead nuts straight and check for high spots. Tape off,go slowly,polish and restring.
