Summer NAMM '10 - Wechter Guitars Pathmaker Demo

PG's Andy Ellis is On Location in Nashville, TN, for the 2010 Summer NAMM show where he visits the Wechter Guitar booth. In this segment, we get to check out their first solidbody model--the Pathmaker SB Maple. The Pathmaker SB Maple is a new solidbody from Abe Wechter, a luthier known for his forward-thinking acoustic designs. Equipped with dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers and Graph Tech's Ghost Acoustiphonic saddle-pickup system, this versatile guitar can move from scorching leads to shimmering, quasi-acoustic timbres with a flick of switch. Particularly exciting: It's the first production guitar to offer Seymour Duncan's Triple Shot pickup mounting rings, which have two mini switches that allow you to turn each coil on or off. As a result, you can quickly put the 'buckers in series, parallel, or a tapped single-coil configuration.
