Affordable Quality from Wechter!

The Wechter Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway acoustic-electric guitar is designed to give you maximum tone, comfortable feel, and the ability to plug in onstage. The Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway features a solid spruce top with scalloped braces (for maximum vibration and great tone), as well as rosewood back and sides material. It also includes a comfortable nato neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The single cutaway, combined with a very player-friendly body size and shape, makes the Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway the kind of instrument you just won't want to put down!

  • Setup
  • Fishman electronics
  • 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 Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway 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 Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway is done in Wechter's US 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.

Fishman electronics
The Grand Cutaway Elite Cutaway comes equipped with Fishman's Presys +. Fishman adds tone-shaping essentials such as volume, EQ, and phase control to the system via a low-profile control panel. An onboard tuner and a low-battery indicator are also included. The Presys + system makes your Wechter guitar sound as responsive and natural when you plug it in as it does acoustically. In addition, guitars equipped with this system include both XLR and 1/4" output jacks, allowing you to plug straight into a mixer or recorder as well as your amp.

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, 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.
