The last few YouTube videos I've watched on Gibson acoustics has mentioned pleking. Maybe not every model...

I was going to ask my luthier Ian who is NA Plek tech support and has visited Bozeman to adjust their machines. He would have an idea but it looks like you found your answer.

My guess is that it would have been maybe about 2014-ish. I recall that my 2015 Sheryl Crow SJ was plekked, and I think they had been plekking for at least a year or two at that time.
