Wechter 5712C with 3-Pickup System Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Quality construction
  • Setup
  • Wechter guitars - a fine tradition

Quality construction
Wechter's guitars feature a great combination of innovation, quality construction, and great materials. This model features a solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, nato neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. The 5712C with 3-Pickup System also includes a single-cutaway body design that gives you easy access to the upper frets, plus a great pickup system to take the natural sound of the guitar to the stage when it's plugged in.

Setup
The final setup on the 5712C with 3-Pickup System is done in Wechter's Indiana shop, using the innovative Plek Pro machine. The Plek Pro puts the "finishing touches" on a guitar's fretwork, dressing the frets under true playing conditions. Wechter also installs brand new premium-quality strings, adjusts the action, adjusts the nut, trussrod, saddle, files frets if necessary, cleans the fingerboard and bridge, polishes and repacks your guitar, so you know you're getting an instrument that will play its best right out of the box.

Having crafted guitars for such artists as John Denver, Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Earl Klugh, Jonas Hellborg, BB King, and Rob Ikes, Wechter has rightly established a solid reputation among musicians the world over for their blend of artistic craftsmanship and innovative design.
