Ron Escheté (born Houma, Louisiana, August 19, 1948) is an American seven-string jazz guitarist. He is the first person to record a cover version of Vince Guaraldi's song "Christmas Time Is Here".
His early influences were jazz guitarists Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, and Howard Roberts. When he was 14, he got his first guitar and performed in clubs while he was in high school. He studied classical guitar and flute at Loyola University in New Orleans. After he graduated, he toured with singer Buddy Greco. He moved to California in 1970 and worked with vibraphonist Dave Pike, then pianist Gene Harris in 1975. He has played with Ray Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Milt Jackson and Diana Krall.
Eschete's solo albums include Soft Winds and Stump Jumper.
