This Travel Acoustic Gives You Big Tone!

Wechter's Travel Elite Mahogany 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 mahogany top and mahogany back and sides provide the perfect blend of warmth and presence, and the 23.3" scale length makes the Travel Elite Mahogany very playable. If you need a guitar that travels well, or a slightly smaller guitar for smaller-handed players, the Wechter Travel Elite Mahogany is perfect for you.

The included Wechter gig bag is made to fit your Wechter guitar perfectly and keep it safe. Perfect protection for your Wechter guitar! An ill-fitting gig bag won't do your prized axe any favors; you need a perfect fit! This gig bag is built road tough, and it cradles your Wechter guitar in fitted comfort. Put your Wechter guitar where it belongs - in a genuine Wechter gig bag!

Wechter Travel Elite Mahogany 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

Designed and crafted for tone
The Wechter Travel Elite Mahogany comprises a wealth of fine components you may not expect at such a modest price. The Travel Elite Mahogany features mahogany back and side material, complemented by a solid mahogany 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 Mahogany.

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.

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, BB King, and Rob Ikes, Abraham Wechter has rightly established a solid reputation among musicians the world over for his combination of craftsmanship and innovative design. Now Abraham makes his high-quality guitars available to you at decidedly non-boutique prices.

Only spent 10 bucks on my first purchase, but you treated me as if was spending a grand. Being an independent business owner, I know all to well the importance of dedicated customer service which is the best way to win over the corporate chains. Tootsie Rolls always win me over too. I'm sure some much bigger purchases are in our future.

Go-to Guitar

Music Background: Performer: music, magic, and variety sideshow
I've been using it regularly in performances since I bought it from Sweetwater in 2005 or so. It's just beautiful, looks as good today as when I first received it; and it sounds better than lots of m... read more [+]ore expensive guitars. This is my go-to instrument for any gig in any venue. Looks warm in the mahogany finish, and sounds as warm as it looks. I get lots of complements about it, and the chicks love it. This my highest-value instrument -- much more than its money's worth. If anything ever happens to it, I'm going to have to replace it with an identical one. close [-]

Great Buy!

by JLS from McKinney, TX

Music Background: Long time picker.
I'm really pleased with this purchase. I tried the Little Martin and the Baby Taylor's but purchased this one blindly. IMO this instrument sounds and plays at a level way above them.

... read more [+] I normally play a vintage D-18 so any travel guitar can't compare, but this little gem doesn't disappoint. It holds tuning, takes a capo well and easily fits into an airline overhead. The only negative comment I have is that it doesn't come with a strap button so ask to have one put on.

If you are looking for something to take on the road with you this is one to seriously consider. Knowing that I could return it gave me confidence to make the purchase.

No buyers remorse here! close [-]

I've compared it to the Little Martin and they sound some what similar but the Wechter is far more enjoyable to play then the Martin.
