Wechter Pathmaker™ recently received these highly touted awards. Read the review details directly from the Wechter Guitar site below. Guitar Player Magazine's "Editor's Pick Award" Guitar One Magazine's "1 Award"

The 3000 Series Pathmakers™ are handmade; the braces are hand-scalloped with a violinmaker's plane. The finish is extremely thin, so the acoustic tone is loud and clear. The necks are slim and the access to the frets all the way into the high registers makes this a real user-friendly guitar. This is the guitar to have if you have ever wanted an acoustic that plays like an electric (i.e. low action and ease of playability) without compromising the acoustic tone.

It is offered with the 3-pickup system or Fishman Prefix+, so you can go from a Nashville country "twang" to a very mellow smooth jazz sound. We feel that you will be extremely happy on stage with this versatile guitar.

Wechter does the final setup on all 3000 Series Pathmakers™ in the shop in Paw Paw, Michigan. They open every box, install the electronics, install brand new premium coated strings, adjust the action, adjust the trussrod, bone nut and saddle, file frets and buff the finish if necessary, clean the fingerboard and bridge, polish and carefully repack - every guitar, every time, so that they know you are getting a guitar that will play the best right out of the box. Wechter stands behind their products and gives all their guitars a lifetime warranty.

Abe Wechter personally travels to Asia several times a year to inspect our guitars and works closely with the manufacturers there to assure our guitars are built with only the best materials and in a properly controlled environment. Abe gave his personal violinmaker’s plane to the factory owner and had them copy the design so that now all the workers can hand scallop braces on the Pathmaker™ guitars according to Abe's instructions.

As a final note, the 3000 Series Pathmaker™ comes with a heavy-duty padded gig bag at no extra charge.
