Hello shad friends,
just been browsing on the Peach Guitars Site and watched a 75 minute video on a full guitar set up it seems they have a laser type system called PLEK that can pick out
any problems with the nut/frets/ radius etc and costs £ 175, the Guitar tech starts with the usual checks working on a bench then puts all the info into the PLEK
system which can pick up any problems to within 100th of a millimeter so extremely accurate, once the results are in the Guitar tech sorts all the problems out
completes the set up, so this costs around £100 more than a standard bench type set up. This got me thinking If you buy a £200 guitar and have this full set up
done at £175 would this guitar play as good as high end one then had another thought, if it did the hardware would probably not be up to much so if you changed
the trem/tuners/ pick ups that would cost around £300 so total cost around £675 ( but still an entry model with mods ) so if you bought say a Fender Player
Plus at around £800 and had the full PLEK set up would total £975 would this guitar be as good as say a fender Pro 11 at around £1700 as they have very
similar specs, has any one had this set up done ? is it worth it ? what's your views on it, thought this topic would get plenty of reactions.
Thanks Chris.
