A+D Gitarrentechnologie GmbH

A+D Gitarrentechnologie, the creators of the world-renowned Plek machine, have revolutionized the way guitars are optimized for playability, precision, and tone. Based in Germany, Plek is far more than a piece of high-tech machinery—it's a symbol of premium craftsmanship, technical innovation, and guitar perfection. Invented by Gerd Anke, a passionate guitarist and engineer, the Plek system was born from a desire to make his instrument the best it could possibly be. Through computerized fret analysis and leveling, Plek machines measure a guitar’s neck and fretboard with microscopic accuracy, allowing luthiers and techs to perform hyper-precise fret work and setup adjustments that simply aren’t possible by hand. The result is unmatched consistency, comfort, and playability—especially crucial for demanding studio and stage environments.

The team behind Plek is a tight-knit group of engineers, technicians, and software developers, but most importantly, they are musicians at heart—guitar lovers and tone chasers who understand what players need because they live it themselves. With a relentless commitment to quality and continuous innovation, Plek has become a trusted tool in world-class guitar shops, manufacturing facilities, and custom luthier workshops across the globe. Whether you're a touring professional, a meticulous tone enthusiast, or a builder seeking precision tools, Plek delivers game-changing results that elevate the performance of every instrument it touches. As fellow guitar nerds, they welcome those who share their obsession with perfect playability and tone.
