A Great American-made Solid Body from Wechter!
The Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar is Wechter's latest innovation - an exciting foray into the world of electric guitar craftsmanship. Each Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar is handcrafted in Paw Paw, Michigan and bears a piece of its origin with its unusal Michigan Walnut Body and Neck, complete with Michigan Curly Maple binding. With the body style of Wechter's award-winning Pathmaker acoustic, and a humbucking/piezo pickup system that's complemented by a perfect Plek Pro setup, the Wechter Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 is a stunning American-made electric!

Wechter Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar at a Glance:
  • Wechter Guitars' newest venture
  • Crafted with unusual tonewoods
  • Entirely American-made
  • Vintage Vibe and Piezo pickup system
  • Perfect setup with Plek Pro technology

Wechter Guitars' newest venture
Abe Wechter has been designing and building acoustics for more than 30 years. Having handmade guitars for such artists as John Denver, Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Earl Klugh, Jonas Hellborg, and BB King, Wechter has established a solid reputation among musicians the world over for his fine acoustic craftsmanship, and innovative design. And now, with the release of the Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar, we see Wechter Guitars carry their torch into a new arena. These solid body guitars showcase the kind of design, innovation, and craftsmanship that can only come from exploring an exciting new frontier. Crafted with unusual tonewoods, and embracing the body-style of the original award-winning Pathmaker acoustic, the Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar is truly a piece of Wechter history.

Crafted with unusual tonewoods
Custom built in Wechter's rural Paw Paw, Michigan shop, these Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitars embrace the resources of their region. Each body and neck is crafted from Michigan Walnut, while Michigan Curly Maple binds the body. An Okume top with Cedar core gives these guitars their great sound, as well as their gnarly, beautiful grained appearance that seems to recall the character of their rustic, yet modern Paw Paw birthplace.

Entirely American-made
Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitars are custom built in Wechter's Paw Paw, Michigan shop at 200 South Gremps Street. When you take home this solid body, you take home an American instrument that reflects the skill and crafsmanship accrued from Wechter's years of fine guitar-making.

Vintage Vibe and Piezo pickup system
Each Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar features a Vintage Vibe Guitars pickup that's handcrafted in Hood River, Oregon, and features grounded shielding to reduce noise from external electric fields. In the neck position is a dual coil Vintage Vibe Resonator Humbucker pickup that delivers that fat humbucker tone. On the bridge is a Graph Tech Ghost Acoustiphonic pickup and preamp system with individual Piezo saddles designed to capture the natural acoustics of this electric for an overall more full-bodied, warm tone.

Perfect setup with Plek Pro technology
Plek Pro is a revolutionary guitar technology achievement, effectively delivering the most optimal string action possible for each instrument - guaranteed. Each Pathmaker Chambered Solid Body Model 9600 Guitar goes through the Plek Pro system that actually mechanically dresses the guitar under true playing conditions, identifying what, precisely, needs to be done to achieve perfect fretwork. What you get in the end is a guitar that intonates better, is perfectly buzz-free and has a personalized setup that's even more accurate than what the finest luthier could ever offer.
