Buc McMaster Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 From the folks at Fuller's. Are all Bozeman acoustics plek'd as a matter of course these days? If so, when did they add this to the build process?
rar Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 From the folks at Fuller's. Are all Bozeman acoustics plecked as a matter of course these days? If so, when did they add this to the build process? If they are, this would be recent news. There was no Plek machine there last summer. -- Bob
Buc McMaster Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Here's a quick look at a Plek machine and what it does. Plek at Weber Custom Guitars

j45nick Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I thought that's what you did to birds before you cooked them.......
Buc McMaster Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Just the left-handed ones are. Maybe. Leaves you wrong-handed folks out, huh? I was talking with Gary at Fuller's and mentioned how great the factory setup is on the new H'Bird and he said they are pleking them now. Seriously?! Yes indeed, says he. Now Gary has been pulling my leg for many, many years now about a lot of things, but he seemed genuine on this one. Just looking to sort out fact from fiction from another source. Jeremy?
j45nick Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I thought that's what you did to birds before you cooked them....... I should have said "chickens" rather than "birds". Now I'm going to get lynched by the 'Bird lovers here. Sheeesh.
Hogeye Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Here's a quick look at a Plek machine and what it does (I misspelled it....it is indeed plek). Plek at Weber Custom Guitars Gibson has talked about it but there is no Plek machine at Bozeman and probably won't be for the future. It probably wouldn't work all that well for Montana guitars.

In any event, the H'Bird is still fine as frog hair!
Madman_Greg Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I thought they were only pleking the custom shop electrics Right now we advertise that we Plek the Les Paul Standard and the Les Paul Traditional, but we're Pleking a lot of other guitars and just not mentioning it," says supervisor McGee. "With two more machines coming, by year-end we'll be running everything through the Plek machines From this web page http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/309-gibson-usa/ and video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kv6KMwCEkI Madman Greg
