This Travel Acoustic-electric Gives You Big Tone!

Wechter's Travel Elite Mahogany acoustic-electric 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.



Wechter Travel Elite Mahogany Acoustic-electric Travel Guitar at a Glance:
  • Designed and crafted for tone
  • A great-playing travel guitar
  • Fishman Isys + pickup system for excellent onstage sound
  • 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.

Fishman pickup system for excellent onstage sound
The travel-sized Fishman Travel Elite Mahogany is designed to go with you everywhere — even if that means heading onstage. That's because it features a great-sounding Fishman Isys+ pickup system. Wherever you are, you'll be ready to plug in and go, with the Wechter Travel Elite Mahogany acoustic-electric guitar.

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.

Almost Too Nice to Beat Up as a Travel Guitar...almost...

by Perry Tow from Camino, CA

I just received this little beauty last week. It arrived in prefect condition from Sweetwater to me in Northern California. I also own a Wechter T0-8424, so I am obviously very pleased with their acou... read more [+]stic guitars to have bought another one. I wanted something small to bring along when I go to friends or camping, etc. and more importantly, I didn't want my baby, the TO-8424, getting damaged. This little mahogany travel guitar is better than I had hoped. It is gorgeous and has a wonderful warm bright woodsie sound that just shimmers and sings with a capo. It is also capable of getting a unique almost mandolin sound that I am also enjoying very much. The Plek Pro set-up makes this, hands down, the easiest-to-play guitar that I have ever picked up. The only problem with it now is that it is so beautiful and flawlessly made that I almost don't want to bang it around outside in the extreme temps either, lol. I could get a Baby Taylor or little Martin and leave this safe at home...but then I'd have to take a step down to play those. I think I'll go ahead with my original plan and play the hell out of this one for years and not worry about getting some serious battle marks on it.

I highly recommend this model as well as any of Abe Wechter's TO-8000 series models. You won't be disappointed - happy playing ya'all! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
