Fender now has 2 plek machines?

#21
The problem is that the areas that could probably benefit the most from having a Plek machine are the stuff that doesn't get high amounts of skilled setup attention. Which are the high volume areas making Plek a larger expense. The custom shop is where it could easily be integrated and there isn't a whole lot of complaining about the fretwork on custom shop Fenders.

Well, it is the internet and we all know the internet thrives and survives off rumors innuendo and speculation with a little bit of tin foil hat thrown in from time to time.

I vaguely remember a kids tv show on which there was a group of 7? 8? kids in a line of chairs. The first one got something whispered in his ear.
He whispered it to the next kid and so on. At the end they compared the original "secret" with the nth one. They were vastly different.
Stuck with me my whole life. All 5 yr olds should do this exercise. That and watch a junkie shoot up heroin. Two best lessons I ever had.

The “telephone game”. And I read your post too quickly and thought you wanted 5 year olds to shoot up heroin. Re-read, slower this time. Ah, better.

I remember decades ago going over to somebody's place place to pick up a few lids. We were told that this particular person always had five finger available. While we were there the scene was fairly sketchy because there were four or more people there who were shooting up heroin. They kept trying to offer it to us telling us how great it was and how much we would like it. All I remember is looking at them And watching them drooling all over theirselves throwing up and nodding out. I'm thinking yeah I just can't wait to try some of that. Needless to say we picked up what we were looking for and got out of there as quickly as we could.

I also remember the show that was on TV for a while I can't remember what channel it was it actually could have been PBS or maybe HBO the title of the show was called "Scared straight." That show was a real eye-opener for the younger generation. An honest to goodness REAL reality show.
