Well, if anyone read my guitar maintenance post lately, I told a rather embarrassing story about how my blood sugar was low. I decided to tune my guitar anyway, I over tightened, and the result was a bad buzzing sound on the 12th fret.

Took the guitar to the shop and they ended up putting the guitar on a "Pleck Machine". Now, I am not sure what this machine does but the guitar I am talking about is my $120 Montana acoustic. The procedure normally cost $120-130 bucks by itself. My guitar now sounds incredible. Supposedly, there arent too many of these pleck machines around and they cost well over $50k to purchase. This cheap guitar sounds beautiful now.

Anyone know what a pleck machine does? I'm curious how something could make such a difference in sound.

Have yet to see a bad review of the Plek. Everyone seems pretty satisfied by the results.
