Hi,
Anyone here had a guitar "Pleked"?
I have a '79 'Paul I dearly love. Really low action, but still maintaining a bit of "snap". Really fast and comfy. Sadly, it is starting to show the first signs of audible fret wear. Hate the idea of playing it to death, getting it re-fretted, and having the magic be lost.
Soooo, had my local luthier (of 20 years) carefully mearsure the frets, and bought a new LP to have Pleked. The hope is it will come back just like my '79. Will arrive tomorrow at the Plek facility, and be back to me in time for a huge summer end festival event gig.
Fingers crossed! Anyone care to place bets on if I play the new guitar or the '79 (the new one has a nicer top, so cosmetically I want to play it, but performance will be the deciding factor)?
I have a lot of finese in my right hand, and am not a Townsend-eque power chord guy (I do play power chords though), and I really like a low action. I do bend a full minor third often, and value sustain above most all else.
I'll post my outcome (granted, I am at a disadvantage having to ship the guitar, and provide descriptions/explanation/desires via phone and paper) for anyone considering it. I did a search here prior to posting, and found very little talk of Pleking.
Again, anyone have personal experience?
