I used to build acoustic guitars for a privately owned business in our area several years ago. I love doing this kind of work and am always amazed how sweet the sound is when you first play a new guitar! I was also surprised to hear that the sound of this Wechter Guitar had similar nuances in sound to the ones I helped build. Anyway, I always needed a acoustic guitar with a cutaway and to win a guitar like this one would be a dream come true!
