The Wechter Pathmaker™ is one of the most innovative guitars ever - it features a patented double cutaway headblock design that allows access to 19 frets clear of the body with the most stable neck joint found on any acoustic guitar today. The Pathmaker™ unique convex headblock construction with integrated soundhole bracing is stronger than any traditional headblock design, easier to build, more reliable, and visually striking.

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.

We offer 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.
