Big open sound. Great bass response. Even output up the neck. Very good for solo performance. Loud enough to be heard in a bluegrass jam.
Sound Rating: 10
Good to go out of the box. No tweaks needed in the first month of playing it daily.
Setup Rating: 9
Flawless finish. No drips or streaks. Neck is beautifully crafted. Inlaid maple strips instead of steel frets. Dot position markers. Bound neck. Very clean looking. Top and Bottom bound body.
Appearance Rating: 10
Guitar is well made. Seems rugged. I would have no problem gigging with it without a back up.
Reliability Rating: 10
I have not needed to contact Wechter.

This guitar has a Sheerhorn spun cone. The peghead design has a straight string path to each tuning machine. No pinch points in the bone nut. This is the same design method used in most steel guitars.
Components Rating: 10
This guitar sold for $750 with a hard shell case in 2010. It is a very good value. The guitar body is constructed in Asia and then sent to the Wechter plant in Indiana for assembly and set up. It utilizes the popular open well with baffle and sound posts and therefore has the "modern" sound.
