An Ideal Acoustic-electric for the Stage!

The Wechter Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline Acoustic-electric guitar features a distinctive double-cutaway design that gives you full-on access to 19 frets clear of the body, adding easy playability to its great acoustic tone. The low-profile body makes this guitar perfect for feedback-fighting stage use, while the slim neck makes it very easy to play - the action is low, yet precise. In fact, this Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline gets an accurate final Plek Pro setup so it plays its best right out of the included case. The onboard Fishman Presys + electronics help make the Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline a plugged-in performer.



Wechter Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline 6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Excellent construction
  • Fishman electronics
  • Pathmaker double-cutaway body style
  • Low action for an electric-like playing experience
  • Precise Plek Pro setup
  • Wechter Guitars — a fine tradition
  • Includes Wechter Deluxe hardshell case

Excellent construction
This Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline boasts a laminate spruce top, hand scalloped bracing, and mahogany back and sides that work together to produce rich acoustic tone plus great reliability; it's ideal for everything from picking on the couch to plugging in on the road.

Fishman electronics
Wechter's Pathmaker Deluxe series guitars sound as great onstage as they do unplugged. Onboard Fishman Presys + electronics provide natural acoustic sound when you plug in, and you can control volume, EQ, and even fight feedback with a handy phase switch. The system's controls also include a handy tuner that lets you instantly tune your Pathmaker Deluxe.

Pathmaker double-cutaway body style
The Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline boasts Wechter's acclaimed double-cutaway acoustic body style. This design allows you to enjoy full access to 19 frets clear of the body, along with an ultra-stable neck joint. You can spot it a mile away - this guitar is as distinctive-looking as it is playable!

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 Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline. Its slimmer body thickness makes it a great choice for players who are used to electric axes, and it's more resistant to onstage feedback than a conventional acoustic guitar design. Plus, the Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline's slim neck only adds to the easy playability Wechter builds into all their instruments and refines with the comprehensive Plek Pro setup.

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 precisely what 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 even the finest luthier could ever offer. In addition, Wechter takes the time to install all electronics 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
Abraham 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, Abraham has rightly established a solid reputation among musicians the world over for his blend of artistic craftsmanship and innovative design — and now, he applies his uncompromising quality and skill to a line of guitars anyone can enjoy.

Includes Wechter Deluxe hardshell case
Wechter Deluxe hardshell cases are made to fit your Wechter guitar perfectly and keep it safe. Perfect protection for your Wechter guitar! An ill-fitting case won't do your prized axe any favors; you need a perfect fit! These cases are built road tough, and they cradle your Wechter guitar in fitted comfort. Put your Wechter guitar where it belongs - in a genuine Wechter hardshell case!

Best Bang for your buck

I've never played an instrument under $1,000 with the responsiveness, action, and sound of the Wechter Pathmaker. After purchasing, my brother in law tried it and bought his own that week. If, god for... read more [+]bid, i ever lose it during travel or some other calamity, I will only replace it with another of its kind. close [-]

I just got my black Thinline Pathmaker this morning. It had been on backorder for a while... but I think it was worth the wait. This guitar is DA BOMB! I was a bit afraid that the neck would be too s... read more [+]lim, but it was just awesome! Nice and round... you get a GOOD grip around it for chord work up and down the neck. And with the extra room up to the 19th fret, I can now play the intro to "Brown Eyed Girl" without changing position... amazing.
I have not plugged it in yet, and I need to take a nap and the dog needs to go out, but I can't put this thing down!
I buy and play mid-priced guitars since I use them ALL the time, and with the places I play and people drinking I would not dare to bring an expensive guitar (800-plus U.S. dollars). Yes I would cry if this was stolen or wrecked or lost, but I would be able to save up for a new one without having to wait too long.
OK enough, gotta get back to playing! (And yes... take the dog out... *sigh*). close [-]

About a year ago I purchased a Wechter Pathmaker left handed 3PU from Sweetwater and it is the best electric acoustic guitar made period!!! Double cutaway, plex set up, super good looks, always stays ... read more [+]in tune, sound and tone are amazing!!! The electronics are first class. This is the only acoustic electric I need in my guitar collection no question, there is just nothing made on the market that comes close to the high quality of this Wechter regardless of price, but the low price is incredible. close [-]

Out of several guitars I own, the Wechter Pathmaker Deluxe Thinline is hands down, my absolute favorite. For a thin-bodied A/E, the sound is OUTSTANDING - and I'm talking about unplugged too! It's pla... read more [+]yability is smooth & easy. This thing came set-up with precision right out of the box. The action is as low as it could possibly be. In my opinion, there's just no better player for the money - HIGHLY recommended. Now, I want the Natural Ovankol model, but I have to figure out a way to sneak it past my wife. close [-]

I have smaller hands and heard this thing played like an electric. The action is nice and low from the PLEK setup. Got it 2 months ago and have played this guitar everyday since I've gotten it and ha... read more [+]ve not had any problems whatsoever. There is also a XLR input along with the 1/4 " which makes for further versatility. Wechter has outdone himself in regards to the craftsmanship and aesthetics of this guitar. I played countless other acoustics and have not gotten the same ease of use out of an instrument as I did with this. close [-]
