2) Frets and Plek

- Technology

The Plek technology guarantees 100% perfect fret dressings on all Framus guitars. An
®
optimal guitar setup is provided thanks to this technology. The neck measuring procedure,
accurate down to 1/100th of a millimeter (10 µ), scans the fingerboard on all relevant points
(basically every possible playing position on the guitar). Measuring is done with the machine
concurrently simulating string tension. Fret dressing is not done with the usual manual
sanding and fret crowning procedures, because the Plek machine dresses every fret
®
individually according to the previous measurements with a custom-shaped wheel cutter.
This preserves the radius and shape of the fret even after the dressing is done. Tolerances
that would normally occur with manual fret dressing are thus eliminated.
The end result is a perfectly seated, defined string action along the fingerboard and optimal
playability.

®
- Computer-driven fret dressing
- Dressing is done while simulating string tension
- Cutting procedure with an accuracy down to 1/100th of a mm (10 µ )
