FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
No — a Plek fret dress is an upgrade to a traditional setup, not a replacement for it. A full setup (truss rod, action, intonation, cleaning, etc.) is still performed alongside the Plek process. The Plek machine simply adds a level of microscopic precision that isn’t possible by hand.
-
Not necessarily. New guitars that already play well may only need a standard setup. A Plek fret dress is ideal for players who want the lowest possible action, cleaner bends, smoother feel, and perfect intonation across the entire neck. Many Charlotte players choose Plek when they want a “pro-level” setup upgrade.
-
Absolutely. Acoustic guitars benefit just as much as electrics — especially for lowering action, improving clarity, and fixing fret buzz. Our Plek Station is fully optimized for acoustic fretboards.
-
Most Plek services are completed within a few days, depending on workload. The scanning alone can reveal issues such as uneven frets, neck relief problems, or nut slot inconsistencies — allowing our tech team to address everything in one visit.
-
Yes. Fret buzz is one of the main issues the Plek system solves. The machine maps your fretboard under real or simulated string tension, then corrects high or uneven frets with CNC-level accuracy.
-
Yes — the Plek process is safe for vintage, boutique, and collector-grade instruments. Many players in Charlotte bring their PRS, Fender Custom Shop, Gibson Historic, and Taylor guitars for Plek refinement.
-
Not always. The Plek machine can also cut precise nut slots. If your nut needs correction — or full replacement — we can determine that during the scan.
-
Yes. Many bass players rely on Plek leveling to achieve lower action, better clarity, and even feel across the entire fretboard.
-
Yes. We regularly serve players from Ballantyne, Pineville, Matthews, South End, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and across the Carolinas. You can drop off your instrument at any time during store hours.
-
Yes — Plek is available as an upgrade on new guitars purchased at Vera Guitars. Every new guitar still receives a professional setup, and the Plek is optional for players who want maximum accuracy.
