Wechter's Famous Pathmaker Body with a 3-pickup System!
The Wechter 3101 Pathmaker is an innovative 6-string acoustic guitar that plays much like an electric. To start, its patented double-cutaway design gives you full-on access to 19 frets clear of the body. The neck itself is slim for easy playing, and the action is very low - yet precise. In fact, this Wechter 3101 Pathmaker gets an accurate final Plek Pro setup so it plays well the second it touches your hands. Handmade, with hand-scalloped bracing, a 3-pickup system puts the Wechter 3101 Pathmaker's signature tone onstage.

Wechter 3101 6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Excellent construction
  • 3-pickup system
  • Pathmaker double-cutaway body style
  • Thin finish for stronger tone
  • Low-action for an electric-like playing experience
  • Precise Plek Pro setup
  • Wechter Guitars - a fine tradition

Excellent construction
The Wechter 3101 Pathmaker boasts a laminate spruce top, hand scalloped bracing, and mahogany back and sides that work together to produce its fine tone and reliability.

3-pickup system
This Wechter 3101 Pathmaker features Wechter's 3-pickup system. When onstage, you'll enjoy complete control over your guitar's magnetic pickup, microphone, and undersaddle piezo transducer. On your preamp, you can blend all three pickups, as well as effectively dial in your tone by adjusting your low, middle, and high frequencies. A phase reversing switch also helps keeps feedback at bay.

Pathmaker double-cutaway body style
The Wechter 3101 Pathmaker wears Wechter's acclaimed - and signature - Pathmaker double-cutaway body style. With the 3101, you'll enjoy full access to 19 frets clear of the body, along with an ultra-stable neck joint.

Thin finish for stronger tone
Wechter gave the 3101 Pathmaker's top a thinner finish, so its acoustic tone is even louder and clearer.

Low-action for an electric-like playing experience
If you're migrating from electric guitar back to acoustic, or if you just want a smooth-playing guitar with low action, you'll love the Wechter 3101 Pathmaker. Plus, its slim neck only adds to the Wechter 3101 Pathmaker's easy playability.

Precise Plek Pro setup
Before they reach your hands, all Wechter guitars go through the USA Wechter shop where they get premium treatment from skilled craftsmen. To start, all Wechters receive a Plek Pro setup. This revolutionary guitar technology mechanically dresses each guitar under true playing conditions, identifying what, precisely, the guitar needs to achieve perfect fretwork. What you get in the end is an instrument that intonates better, is buzz-free, and has a personalized setup that's even more accurate than what the finest luthier could ever offer. In addition, Wechter takes the time to install all electronics and put on a new set of strings before they adjust the action, trussrod, bone nut, and saddle to perfection. Then, after ensuring the guitar is in top playing shape, the Wechter team buffs the finish, cleans the fingerboard and bridge, polishes the top, and finally carefully repacks every guitar, every time. With a Wechter, you can be sure you're getting an instrument that will look and play its best right out of the box.

Wechter Guitars - a fine tradition
Abe Wechter has been designing and building fine instruments for more than 30 years. Having crafted guitars for such artists as John Denver, Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Earl Klugh, Jonas Hellborg, and BB King, Wechter has rightly established a solid reputation among musicians the world over for their blend of artistic craftsmanship and innovative design.

 Best Guitar For The Money  
by Joel F. Gibson from Fort Hood, TX, August 25, 2007
Music Background:  Hobbyist


“When I first played the 3101 I assumed the action was too close to give a nice acoustic sound. Combined with the relative shallow depth of the sound chamber I figured this was a nominal acoustic/electric that would have to be plugged in.

I was wrong-wrong-wrong. Combine a great sound with spectacular, ridiculously clean all the way down the fretboard action, and you get the...” Read More
