My Walden CG3030CETB-IMIX is perfect for my New Age Percussive Fingerstyle. Even at very low tunings you can hear a wonderful characteristic Walden sound

I like its raw tone a lot, bright and powerful and yet finger picks beautifully.

My music reflects my life.

With a great acoustic sound for the studio and the more intimate venues, the T550 is also small-bodied enough to avoid feedback issues when equipped with a pick-up and plugged in for the big stage. It is reliable, versatile and has a tone entirely its own - just what I've been looking for.

So does my guitar.
What I like most about my Walden G3030CE is that the sound is very balanced and the appearance is very refined. Above all, it is a substantial purchase: the value we get is the quality that we do not pay any extra for!

We do not outsource our manufacturing and our guitar shop is the only one in Asia with a certified 100% Pure Chain-of-Custody. Walden Guitars is also a member of The Forest Trust (TFT) and is committed to developing legal sourcing for all our materials.

BODY SHAPES

Choosing a Walden guitar begins with the essential step of discovering the best body shape for you. Every guitar has its own unique voice which is a product of choosing the right body shape, as much as the right wood configuration. As your musical partner, your guitar must feel good in your hands and rest comfortably in your lap, while providing all the complexity, volume and nuance you would expect from a world class instrument.

The magic of great tone is produced by the woods used in building great guitars. Each piece of wood contributes its own distinctiveness to the voice of your instrument. Proper seasoning is an absolute necessity when building a world class instrument. We use only quarter sawn, bookmatched woods imported from around the world. Tonewoods are seasoned and air dried before entering our kilns. Kiln dried woods then undergo our high-frequency drying process, insuring the woods' stability. Finally, it will equalize in humidity and temperature control rooms before being transformed into a Walden Guitar.

Sitka Spruce
(Picea sitchensis)

Engelmann Spruce
(Picea engelmannii)

Western Red Cedar

(Thuja plicata)

The Dreadnought body design dates back to the early 1900s. This grandfather of modern guitar body shapes is respectfully represented by the Walden Dreadnought. It delivers the powerful bass, round mids, and crisp trebles expected from this body shape.

Walden's Grand Auditorium body has a slightly wider lower bout than our traditional Dreadnought and a narrower waist and upper bout. The Grand Auditorium speaks with ample bass balanced by clear and brilliant trebles while the rounded contours are visually pleasing and comfortable in your arms.

Walden's "O" body OM guitar is reminiscent of the pre-war guitar for which it is named. Smaller than our "G" body shape, the O body is popular among finger-stylists and female players. A shallower side depth makes it easier to play and contributes to its focused voice, great for a studio "tracking" instrument.

North American solid Sitka Spruce produces a loud and balanced voice with a strong fundamental. Sitka tops are sought after by players with a strong attack.

North American solid Engelmann Spruce is a beautiful, rich whitish soundboard wood. With the volume and crispness inherent to all spruces, Engelmann adds its brilliant complex overtone structure.

The voice of Western Red Cedar is characterized by dark, rich and smooth tonality. Solid Cedar top guitars are favored by fingerstylists and musicians with a lighter touch.

Central American Mahogany

(Swientenia macrophylla)

African Mahogany
(Khaya ivorensis)

Sapele Mahogany
(Entandrophragma cylindricum)

One of the most traditional woods used for acoustic guitar necks, sides and backs, illegal logging and unsustainable export levels are threatening to render big-leaf mahogany commercially extinct in the near future.

Also known as Khaya Mahogany, its interlocking grain contributes to excellent strength and stability. African Mahogany is an excellent choice for neck material.

Sapele Mahogany has bright striped grain and is clear and responsive. Both beautiful and brilliant, Sapele is an excellent tonewood for back and sides.

The Stage body shape is based on the Walden Grand Auditorium cutaway body with a reduced side depth of 3 ". This creates a thinbody acoustic-electric that is particularly suited to live playing. The "S" has a clear and precise acoustic voice, even when played unplugged.

The traditional classical guitar body originated in the early 1800s. By the 1920s, Spanishbased designs emerged as the standard for the classical guitar. The Walden "N" remains true to its heritage and delivers a voice that has a mellow, singing quality with good bass presence.

The "T" body shape is a sized guitar with a 24.2" scale length. The short scale contributes to its easy playability. Similar to a parlor guitar with a slightly wider lower bout, the T is braced appropriately for its shape and produces surprising volume. It has a focused voice, making it particularly pleasing as a sololead instrument.

The PointFive body has a 21.5 (547mm) scale and body dimensions within the range of measurements detailed by the European Guitar Teachers Association for sized instruments. For parents that genuinely want their child to learn how to play, the P5 provides a quality instrument that is not an impediment to learning. With bracing optimized for this smaller body, the P5 has a unique voice, elegant design, and remarkable tone.

Ebony
(Diospyros ebenum)

Indian Rosewood
(Dalbergia latifolia)

Katalox
(Swartzia cubensis)

Ebony is the traditional fingerboard material found on violins, classical guitars, and high-end steel string instrument due to its hardness, stiffness, and resistance to wear. Ebony is a very dark wood, often black, but sometimes dark brown.

One of the world's most prized guitar woods for back and sides, Indian Rosewood is visually gorgeous. Sonically, Indian Rosewood is complex, warm and deep.

Katalox, sometimes called Mexican Royal Ebony, is native to Central America. It compares well to Ebony and is stronger than Teak or Hard maple. It is one of the few available fingerboard woods responsibly harvested in FSC certified forests.

DESIGN FEATURES
Carbon Graphite & Glass-fiber Neck Reinforcement Design
All Walden 1000-4000 Series guitars feature a modern thin-profile neck. This is reinforced with two rails of Carbon Graphite, a feature unique to Walden among comparably priced instruments, which increases stability and adds harmonic content. Walden 500-700 Series guitars incorporate two rails of Glass-fiber resulting in similar strength, stability and harmonic advantages.

Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish

Nitrocellulose lacquer is made from plant fiber. Because it can vibrate along with the moving soundboard, it has been the finish material of choice among the best luthiers since the late 1800s. A satin finish allows for the application of a thin coat thereby translating more energy into tone. A satin finish is also smoother than a glossy finish which can sometimes feel sticky, allowing the musician to play with greater ease and speed.

Pre-war Scalloped-X Soundboard Design

Walden steel-string guitars incorporate the Pre-War scalloped spruce X bracing on their soundboards based on the great guitars of the pre-World War II era. The scalloped-X brace and scalloped tone bars provide instruments with good clarity and openness of voice, while also stabilizing the soundboard against the pull of the strings.

Bolt-on Neck Joint

The bolt-on neck joint design has no unintended internal stress, resulting in increased stability, more resonance, and easier repair. The Walden neck joint is a tried-and-true method that involves joining a guitar neck and body using threaded-inserts in the heel and KD bolts through the neck-block.

Bone and Fossalite Nut & Saddle

WOOD CONFIGURATIONS
1000 to 4000 Series instruments incorporate a compensated bone nut and saddle, the finest material traditionally used on hand-made instruments. The material contributes to their exceptional depth, sustain and complexity of voice. Walden uses Fossalite nuts and saddles produced by Graph Tech, makers of the precision materials Tusq and Nubone. This synthetic material is used on Walden 300 through 700 series instruments. Approximating the tonality of vintage bone, Fossalite increases the warmth and depth of the instruments harmonics and tone as well as contributing pristine highs and mids.

Madera
Youre Part of the Solution
Ecologically friendly, responsible acoustic guitars made of woods from well managed forests are rare. Certified responsible instruments made by ethically run Mainland China factories are even rarer. With Waldens Madera Line, guitarists can make purchasing decisions that both serve your musical aspirations and take part in reducing the over consumption of world resources. The all-solid wood Madera line is built with 100% certified FSCPure traditional guitar tonewoods such as certified FSC-Pure solid Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), certified FSC-Pure solid Western Red cedar (Thuja plicata), and certified FSC-Pure solid Central American genuine mahogany (Swientenia Macrophylla). With an FSC Chain-ofCustody (COC) certification, all woods on the Madera are tracked from forest to finished instrument thereby guaranteeing its responsible origins. These woods are stiff and sawn perfectly on-quarter, maximizing tonality, voice and stability. We permit visual character inherent to wood such as mild bear claw and winter growth lines. Obtaining products from organizations with COC certification and building with 100% FSC-Pure materials is the only way you can trust that the instrument is genuinely constructed of woods from responsible sources. FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, is the leading independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the worlds forests. Walden chose the name Madera for its association with the Spanish word for wood. Guitars in this line can be easily recognized by a distinctive pearl headstock embellishment shaped like the Chinese character for wood. Your demand for Green instruments will aid in certifying more forests around the world making sustainable living commonplace. The Walden Madera: Youre part of the solution.

Madera 4000

The Walden Madera line is built with traditional guitar tonewoods. The difference is that 100% certified these tonewoods are certified FSC-Pure meaning they all originate from well managed forests. Certified North American Sitka spruce or Western Red cedar soundboards with Central American Mahogany back, sides, and neck result in instruments with the voice you expect, without the guilt of clear-cutting rainforests. FSC-Pure certified South American Katalox is used for the fingerboard, bridge and head-plate and contributes tonal characteristics similar to Ebony. All Madera steel-string instruments are recognizable by the tasteful wood character pearl embellishment below the pearl Walden headstock logo, an abalone two-ring rosette, and faux-tortoise shell binding. The all-solid Dreadnought CD4040-CERT pairs certified Sitka spruce with certified Mahogany back and sides and a gloss finish, making it a classic with its loud volume and great response. The allsolid Grand Auditorium CG4070-CERT mates a certified Western Red cedar soundboard with certified Mahogany back and sides. With a wider 1-3/4 wide bone nut and a deep, rich voice, it is the fingerstylists choice. The CD4040CERT and CG4070-CERT are both available with Waldens Tobacco Burst finish as well.

All-Solid Mahogany Madera 4041

Currently the FSC tonewoods, particularly Spruce and Cedar soundboards, are extremely difficult to obtain due to the lack of certified forests. True Mahogany (Swienteia Macrophylla) is better developed and is responsibly available. In Waldens eco-friendly Madera line, there are several choices that allow you to pair your desire for a great guitar with your desire to live responsibly. New for 2011 are the CD4041-CERT and CG4041-CERT, allsolid Mahogany acoustic guitars with a unique tonal character of its own: bigger than Koa and more focused than Spruce.

SupraNatura

All SupraNaturas are detailed with all-wood binding and trim, wood inlaid rosettes, and wood bridges and end pins. A modern thin neck allows smooth execution of fingerstyle techniques, and inlaid rails of carbon graphite ensure both the stability and the sonic balance of this narrow-profile neck. Fully compensated bone saddles and bone nuts contribute to the SupraNatura's exceptional depth, sustain and complexity. SupraNatura guitars come with the line specific faceted Walden bridge, graphite reinforced narrow profile neck and tapered Walden headstock.

My Walden ~Chris Hinson~ SupraNatura G3030CEQ Owner

"I love my Walden 3030CEQ! Played side by side against the high dollar guitars, the Walden delivers excellent bass, great mids and a warm crystalline high end that is every bit the sonic equivalent of the expensive guitars. The playability exceeds that of the more expensive models! I havent been able to put this thing down and it has really inspired me to spend more time playing again."

~Wayne Walden~ SupraNatura G2070 Owner My Walden

"I have played fingerstyle guitar for 25 to 30 years. I recently bought a G2070 and feel blessed. It is difficult for me to imagine that any other guitar at any price could be significantly better in aesthetics, playability, or sound. Its like a handmade custom instrument. This thing is as clear as a bell, and set up perfectly. Thanks a million for making these guitars available at such a great price."

"I've owned other guitars in the past and tried many guitars before making my most recent purchase and have to say that I'm really impressed by the playability, sound and value of your guitars. Thanks for making such a guitar available for those of us that don't have thousands of dollars to spend, but still want good sound."

~Steve Bottcher~ Natura G630CE Owner My Walden

"It took me four years to find my true love but your G630CE beat it out. I've owned many other guitar within the $500 to $800 range. I purchased the Walden for less money and it's better than any of these.

"What a beautiful guitar! The tone and action are perfect for me. It's even caused me to venture out of the woodshed and into a small band. Not a bad start for a 52 year old that's been stuck in the same chords and simple riffs for the last 30 years, eh?"

~Michael Mucklow, Walden Artist~ O550 Owner My Walden

"The O550 has an 'air' or 'lightness' to the tone and that quick response off the soundboard that I've personally come to really like about Waldens. It has a OM type sound which is comparable to the OM style guitars that are in the $1400-2000 price range."

My Walden ~Pete Laracuente~ Standard D351 Owner

I was impressed with my Walden D351! I purchased it because I'm learning to play Blues and wanted a 'voice' different from my other acoustics. I am also very pleased with the workmanship, attention to detail, and the 'Bluesy voice'. Unbelievable! If this is the overall quality present at the lower-end of the Walden model/price spectrum, the high-end models must be outstanding.

~Steve Valenti~ Standard D350CEB Owner My Walden

"I traded in another guitar for a brand new D350CEB for my 12 year old son. This guitar, even for being on the entry level of Walden, is fantastic! He loves it. Hell, I love it! It's very comfortable and easy to play and sounds great....not to mention it's great looking black gloss finish. Keep up the good work! It amazes me that with this quality and price point that Waldens aren't more common."

Natura N700

Natura
Like aging a fine wine, the more you play a Natura, the better it will sound. Only solid spruce and cedar soundboards are used on a Natura guitar because the tone of a solid top improves as the the natural wood fibers resonate and respond to your musical style.

The clarity, brightness and complex harmonic structure of the 700 series classical guitar originates from a solid wood soundboard paired with a solid wood back. The solid Western Red Cedar soundboard/solid Rosewood back model produces warmth and breath, whereas the solid Sitka Spruce/solid Mahogany back model is crisp and bright. Natural aging lacquer ensures that the tone continues to blossom as the solid woods open up. Tasteful ornamentations like an inlaid wood rosette and mitred trim complete these excellent solid wood classical guitars.

"As an employee of Waldens German distributor, many guitars by several brands go through my hands every day. The great Walden guitars made it easy to decide to buy a N550CE. I'm from Peru. It is wonderful to play either Peruvian music, Criollo or even Afro-Peruvian music with my Walden. Now I live in Germany, and whenever I'm playing a jam session with my Walden and my Peruvian compatriots, we live again in a piece of South America.
