This Travel Acoustic Gives You Big Tone!

Wechter's Travel Elite Spruce acoustic guitar demonstrates how Wechter continues to maximize bang for the buck. This guitar is slightly smaller than a typical acoustic, making it great for musicians on the go. The solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides provide the perfect blend of warmth and presence, and the 23.3" scale length makes the Travel Elite Spruce very playable. If you need a guitar that travels well, or a slightly smaller guitar for smaller-handed players, the Wechter Travel Elite Spruce is perfect for you.



Wechter Travel Elite Spruce Acoustic Travel Guitar at a Glance:
  • Designed and crafted for tone
  • A great-playing travel guitar
  • Precise Plek Pro setup
  • Wechter Guitars — a fine tradition
  • Includes Wechter gig bag

Designed and crafted for tone
The Wechter Travel Elite Spruce comprises a wealth of fine components you may not expect at such a modest price. The Travel Elite Spruce features mahogany back and side material, complemented by a solid spruce top for rich tone. Plus, a rosewood fingerboard, a rosewood bridge, and a nato neck add to the sound and playability of the Wechter Travel Elite Spruce.

Precise Plek Pro setup
Plek Pro is a revolutionary guitar technology achievement, effectively delivering the most optimal string action physically possible. The Plek Pro system mechanically dresses each guitar under true playing conditions, identifying what, precisely, the guitar needs to achieve perfect fretwork. What you get in the end is an instrument 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.

Great travel and every day guitar

by Ed Spyhill from Chalfont, PA

Music Background: Classical guitar and forever amateur
I bought the Wechter 1710 solid Spruce Top model and find it to be an excellent guitar. Overall the guitar is well made, stays in tune and is a dream to play. As expected, my spruce top sounded somewh... read more [+]at harsh and boxy at first, but within a week it started developing that spruce sound I love. (I'd love to try the mahogany top model.) The scale length is easy to adjust to. The setup is good with a playable action, but I think I will have the nut slots lowered just a bit after 6 months. I added a strap button to the heel of the neck and the guitar hangs on a strap perfectly positioned with the waist just above my right knee. The company's ad copy touts this as a guitar for kids or people with small hands, yet I'd like to add another group of guitar players - us aging guitar players with age-related elbow and shoulder problems. I can play this guitar without any "tennis elbow" pain. Can't say how happy I am to be playing guitar again. I highly recommend this guitar. close [-]

Bought 1710 used for $79.00!

This is no $79 guitar! I saw it hanging in the acoustic room of a guitar shop and saw the price and was surprised because it was a very expensive looking guitar. I looked it up online and immediatel... read more [+]y ran back and bought it and saw the nice padded gig bag and was blown away even more at the price I paid. I fell head over heals in love with this guitar the first weekend I played with it. The finish work is awesome and it plays like a dream. I agree with the reviews that say it is hands down the best travel guitar period even over the martin and baby taylor. Dont let the "made in china" on the label inside fool you. This is like a mini Martin D-35 and I am very happy. Everyone I have shown gives me oohhs and ahhhs when they see it too. Best deal Ive found in a long time on anything :0) close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Chris McCown
The Wechter Travel Elite has to be the coolest "small" guitar out there. There are a couple other "small" guitars on the market, but this one is Plek'd, which means it has a very playable neck. The construction and workmanship are equal to guitars costing many times as much. Oh, and it sounds way bigger than it looks. Need a guitar for smaller hands, for traveling, or for a beginner? This is it.
