Wechter Guitars on YouTube
The folks at Wechter Guitars have put together a video called Crafting Wechter Guitars, shot by award-winning photojournalist Mark Bugnaski. It is available for viewing (in two parts) on YouTube.
The video shows craftsmen at work in the Wechter shop, and is presented in a documentary style, without narration. It runs just over six minutes in total. There is also a Wechter slide show presentation on YouTube.
Wechter makes a variety of hand crafted acoustic guitars, as well as Scheerhorn-licensed resonator guitars and the Rob Ickes signature model Scheerhorn/Wechter guitar.
