Reviewsbased on 8 reviewsYou need this Guitar
by Tom Stolzenberger from Montverde, FL
Any fan of acoustic guitar will love this guitar. The harmonies it opens up just by playing the same things you'd play on a standard tuned guitar are beautiful, interesting and inspiring. Aside from t... read more [+]he additional depth this guitar will give your recordings, it offers great electronics, and a plek'd compound radius I wish I had on every one of my electrics. The guitar plays flawlessly. Not just a gushing review. this guitar REALLY plays flawlessly. As an owner of a much more expensive Martin D42, I'm floored that Wechter can put an instrument of this quality up for sale for a mere $629. THAT - is truly unbelievable. In terms of quality and enjoyment per dollar spent this guitar is at the top of the list close [-]
January 9, 2012 Music Background: Lifelong Musician Wechter Guitar Nashville-tuned Cutaway - you have to get this guitar
by Cantor Steven Hevenstone from FL USA
I am impressed - just arrived today and I am still in awe. I love the Nashville tuning. I am a Cantor in a large Synagogue and utilize the guitar. The sound of this instrument will add an amazing d... read more [+]imension to my music. The guitar is comfortable, and the neck is smooth. What can I say, after tuning her up I was able to pretty much play out of the box. Derek and Brian you are the best! I had to wait for this guitar to come in, and it was definitely worth the wait. The packing was great - double boxed and in a very cool looking case. I can-not wait to play her in front of an audience. I have a 12-string also and several guitars (over 40 actually), but none are like this. Definitely worthy the price and wait if out of stock. I recommend it highly!!!! close [-]

My wife and I colloborate ideas for "The Lost Irish Souls" band. This guitar is really too fun to put down. You can play this continually for 5-6 hours at a sitting without any strain/pain. The nato neck is refined and really comfortable. I find this to really work well with two other guitar models which are the Taylor (pretty much any of them) and or the Wechter Jumbo Auditorium. Now that is a real match and the play is so similar. To anyone who has been waiting in the wings for one of these....grab em...you will not be sorry......Irish. close [-]
November 3, 2010 Music Background: Singer-Songwriter- "The Lost Irish Souls" Simply Amazing!
by Matt Wills from Sioux Falls, SD
I ordered the Wechter Nashville Special Elite Cutaway knowing well the quality that Wechter produces. When it arrived, double boxed and well padded, I was immediately taken by the excellent finish an... read more [+]d attention to detail. Frets were perfectly finished (via PlekPro) and set up was spot on. This is a smaller body guitar, akin to a parlor-size instrument, and it fit me perfectly. The case that comes with the guitar is aesthetically pleasing and very sturdy. Overall, my first impression was something like "...Wow!"August 12, 2010 Music Background: Pro Musician I proceeded to tune it up and started to play. The action was perfect for fingerpicking and strumming, and I played it for 2.5 hours before setting it down. One of the reasons I purchased the instrument was to use it with my band. I did considerable research on Nashville tuning, and felt strongly that the guitar would add an interesting dimension to our sound. It has, however it has become my primary acoustic guitar for an entirely different reason: I am writing songs again because of it. Nashville tuning raises the low E-G strings a full octave, leaving the high B and E at standard pitch. The chord voicing is very different...some have described it as a "sparkle" or "shimmer" and I would agree. Because this guitar is specially designed for Nashville tuning, there are no intonation issues as you work your way up the neck. The chords seem more alive and vibrant, and this along with the different voicing has opened up new melodies and ideas that I didn't know I had in me. As a younger man I often wrote a new song every day...then graduate school, job, and three kids later I found I haven't written in years. This guitar has inspired something inside me to compose again, and that alone is just plain worth the price of admission. I completely and without reservation endorse this guitar. Play, fit and finish are expertly done. The Fishman Presys+ electronics are great and the guitar sounds excellent acoustically and plugged in. I like the XLR and 1/4" plug-ins, and the onboard tuner and EQ is a real plus too. Forget that it comes from China. The magic happens in the mind of Abe Wechter and his luthiers when they design the instrument, and again when it arrives in the states for Plek and setup. Sweetwater and my rep Dave Brow have never let me down. My orders are always handled quickly and with care, and I appreciate that a lot. I have a feeling this will be a cherished guitar for many years. Thanks Wechter and Sweetwater/Dave...another home run! close [-] Also popular
