“My <strong>Walden</strong> CG3030CETB-IMIX is<br />

perfect for my New Age Percussive<br />

Fingerstyle. Even at very low tunings<br />

you can hear a wonderful characteristic<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> sound”<br />

Dianji Estévez Caraballo<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> Artist in GERMANY<br />

Concorda CG3030CETB-IMIX owner<br />

“With a great acoustic sound for the<br />

studio and the more intimate venues,<br />

the T550 is also small-bodied enough to<br />

avoid feedback issues when equipped<br />

with a pick-up and plugged in for the big<br />

stage. It is reliable, versatile and has a<br />

tone entirely its own - just what I've been<br />

looking for.”<br />

Andres Roots<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> Artist in ESTONIA<br />

Natura T550 owner<br />

My music reflects my life.<br />

So does my guitar.<br />

“I like its raw tone a lot, bright and powerful and yet<br />

finger picks beautifully.”<br />

Joe Brooks<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> Artist in UK<br />

SupraNatura G3030CEQ owner<br />

“What I like most about my <strong>Walden</strong> G3030CE is that<br />

the sound is very balanced and the appearance is very<br />

refined. Above all, it is a substantial purchase: the value<br />

we get is the quality that we do not pay any extra for!”<br />

Your music reflects your attitude and how you live your life. So does<br />

your guitar. <strong>Walden</strong> is an expression of the choices you make, choices<br />

that matter and make a difference. Playing a <strong>Walden</strong> says that you<br />

want more than just a great instrument. You also want a guitar that is<br />

built in a responsible and ethical way.<br />

Why choose <strong>Walden</strong> Guitars? It comes down to the details. How it was<br />

made. Who made it. Where the materials came from. Features and<br />

specifications you don't notice immediately because they are just right.<br />

The way your guitar looks and sounds — how it effortlessly responds to<br />

your touch — like a great guitar should.<br />

Responsibility. We do not outsource our manufacturing and our guitar<br />

shop is the only one in Asia with a certified 100% Pure Chain-of-Custody.<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> Guitars is also a member of The Forest Trust (TFT) and is<br />

committed to developing legal sourcing for all our materials. Through<br />

our partnership with TFT and by building guitars from certified woods,<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> supports the management of the world’s forests.<br />

Beauty is in the details you see. High-grade soundboards, Mahogany<br />

necks, and Indian Rosewood bridges and fingerboards guarantee rich,<br />

dynamic sounding guitars that improve the more you play. All bodies<br />

and necks are fully bound and incorporate the understated elegance of<br />

tasteful trim designs.<br />

Quality is in the details you don't see. <strong>Walden</strong> Natura and SupraNatura<br />

line guitars are coated with Nitrocellulose lacquer which opens up more<br />

and more as it cures and hardens, allowing your already great sounding<br />

guitar to sound better and better. Madera and Concorda line guitars<br />

feature a Polyester/Polyurethane high gloss finish, offering another<br />

great choice for <strong>Walden</strong> players. We build with traditional Lutherie<br />

woods and allow them to cure, dry and stabilize before transforming<br />

them into a <strong>Walden</strong> guitar in a humidity controlled environment. Inside<br />

each steel string instrument we incorporate a scalloped-X sprucebraced<br />

soundboard, bolt-on neck, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod.<br />

Fine instruments are a lifetime investment and our guitars will make<br />

this musical journey with you. In the following pages you will discover<br />

the <strong>Walden</strong> Madera, SupraNatura, Natura, Standard, and Concorda lines<br />

of guitars. We trust these pictures and descriptions will inspire you<br />

to go and play a <strong>Walden</strong> guitar because the sound of a great guitar is<br />

something that is beyond words. We hope you will allow <strong>Walden</strong> Guitars<br />

the opportunity to appeal to your heart and touch your soul.<br />

BODY SHAPES<br />

Choosing a <strong>Walden</strong> guitar begins with the essential step of discovering the best body shape for you. Every guitar has<br />

its own unique voice which is a product of choosing the right body shape, as much as the right wood configuration.<br />

TONE WOODS<br />

The magic of great tone is produced by the woods used in building great guitars. Each piece of wood<br />

contributes its own distinctiveness to the voice of your instrument. Proper seasoning is an absolute necessity<br />

when building a world class instrument. We use only quarter sawn, bookmatched woods imported from around<br />

the world. Tonewoods are seasoned and air dried before entering our kilns. Kiln dried woods then undergo our<br />

high-frequency drying process, insuring the woods' stability. Finally, it will equalize in humidity and temperature<br />

control rooms before being transformed into a <strong>Walden</strong> Guitar.<br />

slightly wider lower bout than our traditional<br />

Central American Mahogany<br />

(Swientenia macrophylla)<br />

One of the most traditional woods<br />

used for acoustic guitar necks,<br />

sides and backs, illegal logging<br />

and unsustainable export levels<br />

African Mahogany<br />

(Khaya ivorensis)<br />

Also known as Khaya Mahogany, its<br />

interlocking grain contributes to<br />

excellent strength and stability.<br />

African Mahogany is an excellent<br />

Sapele Mahogany<br />

(Entandrophragma cylindricum)<br />

Sapele Mahogany has bright striped<br />

grain and is clear and responsive.<br />

Both beautiful and brilliant, Sapele<br />

is an excellent tonewood for back<br />

are threatening to render big-leaf<br />

choice for neck material.<br />

and sides.<br />

mahogany commercially extinct in<br />

the near future.<br />

The Stage body shape is<br />

based on the <strong>Walden</strong> Grand<br />

Auditorium cutaway body<br />

with a reduced side depth<br />

of 3 ½". This creates a thinbody<br />

acoustic-electric that<br />

is particularly suited to<br />

live playing. The "S" has a<br />

clear and precise acoustic<br />

voice, even when played<br />

unplugged.<br />

The traditional classical guitar<br />

body originated in the early<br />

1800s. By the 1920s, Spanishbased<br />

designs emerged as the<br />

standard for the classical guitar.<br />

The <strong>Walden</strong> "N" remains true<br />

to its heritage and delivers a<br />

voice that has a mellow, singing<br />

quality with good bass presence.<br />

The "T" body shape is a ⅞ sized<br />

guitar with a 24.2" scale length.<br />

The short scale contributes to<br />

its easy playability. Similar to<br />

a parlor guitar with a slightly<br />

wider lower bout, the T is braced<br />

appropriately for its shape and<br />

produces surprising volume. It<br />

has a focused voice, making it<br />

particularly pleasing as a sololead<br />

instrument.<br />

The PointFive body has a<br />

21.5” (547mm) scale and body<br />

dimensions within the range<br />

of measurements detailed by<br />

the European Guitar Teachers<br />

Association for ½ sized<br />

instruments. For parents that<br />

genuinely want their child<br />

to learn how to play, the P5<br />

provides a quality instrument<br />

that is not an impediment to<br />

learning. With bracing optimized<br />

for this smaller body, the P5 has<br />

Ebony<br />

(Diospyros ebenum)<br />

Ebony is the traditional fingerboard<br />

material found on violins, classical<br />

guitars, and high-end steel string<br />

instrument due to its hardness,<br />

stiffness, and resistance to wear.<br />

Ebony is a very dark wood, often<br />

black, but sometimes dark brown.<br />

Indian Rosewood<br />

(Dalbergia latifolia)<br />

One of the world's most prized<br />

guitar woods for back and sides,<br />

Indian Rosewood is visually<br />

gorgeous. Sonically, Indian Rosewood<br />

is complex, warm and deep.<br />

Katalox<br />

(Swartzia cubensis)<br />

Katalox, sometimes called Mexican<br />

Royal Ebony, is native to Central<br />

America. It compares well to Ebony<br />

and is stronger than Teak or Hard<br />

maple. It is one of the few available<br />

fingerboard woods responsibly<br />

harvested in FSC certified forests.<br />

a unique voice, elegant design,<br />

and remarkable tone.


DESIGN FEATURES<br />

Carbon Graphite & Glass-fiber Neck Reinforcement Design<br />

All <strong>Walden</strong> 1000-4000 Series guitars feature a modern thin-profile<br />

neck. This is reinforced with two rails of Carbon Graphite, a<br />

feature unique to <strong>Walden</strong> among comparably priced instruments,<br />

which increases stability and adds harmonic content. <strong>Walden</strong><br />

500-700 Series guitars incorporate two rails of “Glass-fiber”<br />

resulting in similar strength, stability and harmonic advantages.<br />

Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish<br />

Nitrocellulose lacquer is made from plant fiber. Because it can vibrate along with the<br />

moving soundboard, it has been the finish material of choice among the best luthiers since<br />

the late 1800s. A satin finish allows for the application of a thin coat thereby translating<br />

more energy into tone. A satin finish is also smoother than a glossy finish which can<br />

sometimes feel sticky, allowing the musician to play with greater ease and speed.<br />

“Pre-war” Scalloped-X Soundboard Design<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> steel-string guitars incorporate the “Pre-War” scalloped spruce X bracing on their<br />

soundboards based on the great guitars of the pre-World War II era. The scalloped-X brace<br />

and scalloped tone bars provide instruments with good clarity and openness of voice, while<br />

also stabilizing the soundboard against the pull of the strings.<br />

Bolt-on Neck Joint<br />

The bolt-on neck joint design has no unintended internal stress, resulting in increased<br />

stability, more resonance, and easier repair. The <strong>Walden</strong> neck joint is a tried-and-true<br />

method that involves joining a guitar neck and body using threaded-inserts in the heel<br />

and KD bolts through the neck-block.<br />

Two-way Adjustable Truss Rod<br />

All <strong>Walden</strong> guitars incorporate a 2-way adjustable truss rod that allows for<br />

the precise adjustment of the guitar's setup in response to seasonal changes.<br />

Furthermore, a player can increase or decrease fingerboard relief to exactly suit his<br />

or her personal playing style.<br />

Bone and Fossalite Nut & Saddle<br />

1000 to 4000 Series instruments incorporate a compensated bone<br />

nut and saddle, the finest material traditionally used on hand-made<br />

instruments. The material contributes to their exceptional depth,<br />

sustain and complexity of voice. <strong>Walden</strong> uses Fossalite nuts and<br />

saddles produced by Graph Tech, makers of the precision materials<br />

Tusq and Nubone. This synthetic material is used on <strong>Walden</strong> 300<br />

through 700 series instruments. Approximating the tonality of vintage<br />

bone, Fossalite increases the warmth and depth of the instrument’s<br />

harmonics and tone as well as contributing pristine highs and mids.<br />

Ecologically friendly, responsible<br />

acoustic guitars made of woods<br />

from well managed forests are<br />

rare. Certified “responsible”<br />

instruments made by ethically run<br />

Mainland China factories are even<br />

rarer. With <strong>Walden</strong>’s Madera Line,<br />

STEEL-STRING<br />

GUITARS<br />

The all-solid wood Madera line<br />

is built with 100% certified FSC-<br />

Pure traditional guitar tonewoods<br />

such as certified FSC-Pure solid<br />

Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), certified FSC-Pure solid Western Red<br />

cedar (Thuja plicata), and certified FSC-Pure solid Central American<br />

“genuine” mahogany (Swientenia Macrophylla). With an FSC Chain-of-<br />

Custody (COC) certification, all woods on the Madera are tracked from<br />

forest to finished instrument thereby guaranteeing its responsible<br />

origins. These woods are stiff and sawn perfectly on-quarter,<br />

maximizing tonality, voice and stability. We permit visual character<br />

inherent to wood such as mild bear claw and winter growth lines.<br />

# SGS-COC-006824<br />

Obtaining products from organizations with COC certification and<br />

building with 100% FSC-Pure materials is the only way you can<br />

trust that the instrument is genuinely constructed of woods from<br />

responsible sources. FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council, is the<br />

leading independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization<br />

established to promote the responsible management of the world’s<br />

forests.<br />

<strong>Walden</strong> chose the name Madera for its association with the Spanish<br />

word for “wood.” Guitars in this line can be easily recognized by a<br />

distinctive pearl headstock embellishment shaped like the Chinese<br />

character “ 木 ” for wood.<br />

All-Solid Mahogany Madera 4041<br />

Currently the FSC tonewoods, particularly Spruce and Cedar soundboards, are extremely difficult to obtain due<br />

to the lack of certified forests. True Mahogany (Swienteia Macrophylla) is better developed and is responsibly<br />

available. In <strong>Walden</strong>’s eco-friendly Madera line, there are several choices that allow you to pair your desire for<br />

a great guitar with your desire to live responsibly. New for <strong>2011</strong> are the CD4041-CERT and CG4041-CERT, allsolid<br />

Mahogany acoustic guitars with a unique tonal character of its own: bigger than Koa and more focused<br />

than Spruce.<br />

SupraNatura<br />

Handmade designs and features grace all SupraNaturas. Focus is placed<br />

on appreciating the quality and beauty of wood. All SupraNaturas<br />

are detailed with all-wood binding and trim, wood inlaid rosettes,<br />

and wood bridges and end pins. A modern thin neck allows smooth<br />

execution of fingerstyle techniques, and inlaid rails of carbon graphite<br />

ensure both the stability and the sonic balance of this narrow-profile<br />

neck. Fully compensated bone saddles and bone nuts contribute to the<br />

"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<br />

crystalline high end that is every bit the sonic equivalent of the expensive guitars. The playability exceeds that of the more expensive models!<br />

other guitar at any price could be significantly better in aesthetics, playability, or sound. It’s like a handmade custom instrument. This thing<br />

I haven’t been able to put this thing down and it has really inspired me to spend more time playing again."<br />

~Steve Bottcher~ Natura G630CE Owner My <strong>Walden</strong> 17<br />

"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<br />

"It took me four years to find my true love but your G630CE beat it out.<br />

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<br />

I've owned many other guitar within the $500 to $800 range. I purchased<br />

dollars to spend, but still want good sound."<br />

the <strong>Walden</strong> for less money and it's better than any of these.”


Natura 500<br />

Distilled to the essence of what a great guitar should be, the 500 series guitar is the most affordable entry<br />

into the Natura line. Bookmatched, quartersawn soundboards from the Pacific Northwest provide the richness<br />

and tone found only in a solid top. 500 series guitars are tastefully detailed with black binding, an inlaid 2-ring<br />

rosette, a pearl <strong>Walden</strong> logo, and chrome die-cast tuners. Choose the Spruce/Mahogany 550 for brightness and<br />

~Michael Mucklow, <strong>Walden</strong> Artist~ O550 Owner My <strong>Walden</strong> 19<br />

"What a beautiful guitar! The tone and action are perfect for me. It's even caused me to<br />

"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<br />

venture out of the woodshed and into a small band. Not a bad start for a 52 year old<br />

<strong>Walden</strong>s. It has a OM type sound which is comparable to the OM style guitars that are in the $1400-2000 price range."<br />

that's been stuck in the same chords and simple riffs for the last 30 years, eh?"

“SIMPLICITY, SIMPLICITY, SIMPLICITY!”<br />

“The much feted character exhibited by those earlier instruments springs fully to life with the CG2000CEQ; it is a guitar that can<br />

confidently play whichever role you assign it, and all with a voice that you just want to keep hearing.”

Concorda 600<br />

Gloss 600 series Concorda guitars feature higher quality woods and upgraded detailing such as white binding<br />

Red Cedar or Sitka Spruce soundboards are braced with high-grade scalloped-X spruce to ensure a complex,<br />

resonant voice. The CD670 mates a Cedar top with mahogany back and sides creating a dry, yet crisp voiced<br />

instrument. With the CG670TB, the addition of a tobacco burst finish creates an instant classic. Presys+<br />

“STYLISH VERSATILITY”<br />

“<strong>Walden</strong>'s Concorda CG670TB bundles elegant design with easy playability and pleasing, balanced sound at an affordable price. The striking sunburst finish and<br />

simple, refined appointments lend it a classy appearance that makes this guitar stand out from the pack. The full, well-balanced tone is appropriate for almost<br />

any music that doesn't need a big, thumping bass, and the comfortable neck should please players who prefer narrow string spacing.”

“A Rockin’ Stage Hog!”<br />

“This one’s a winner! Put away your vintage axes! There are more important things on stage than nostalgia. Whoever carries the attractive <strong>Walden</strong> CS500CE on<br />

stage will be rewarded with a rich sound with lots of harmonics, and also enjoy the important subtleties for gentle playing. The great Fishman preamp balances<br />

any unamplified weaknesses and really makes this acoustic guitar a real “stage hog.”


STANDARD<br />

<strong>Walden</strong>'s Standard line of gloss finished guitars is the realization of our goal to build<br />

acoustic guitars with exceptional tonewoods, construction quality and features<br />

at prices previously unavailable. The Standard focuses on providing a solid value<br />

without compromise to the musician. Mahogany, known for its stability, is used on all<br />

guitar necks. Beautiful solid Rosewood fingerboards and distinctive <strong>Walden</strong> Rosewood<br />

bridges grace every Standard guitar. A 2-ring rosette is inlaid into every fully-bound<br />

Standard body.<br />

waldenguitars.com<br />

Standard 351<br />

Available in natural and transparent see-thru finishes, the D351 features a gloss finished Mahogany soundboard<br />

with Mahogany sides and back. The Mahogany soundboard contributes to a guitar with extra brightness, focus<br />

and punch. The D351 includes a solid Rosewood fingerboard, distinctive <strong>Walden</strong> bridge, 2-ring inlaid rosette and<br />

two-way adjustable truss rod.<br />

Standard 350<br />

The most affordable <strong>Walden</strong> acoustic guitar, the D350 is a perfect beginning for the player who wishes to start<br />

their musical journey with a quality instrument. In addition to a natural gloss finish, the D350 is available in the<br />

“I was impressed with my <strong>Walden</strong> D351! I purchased it because I'm learning to play Blues and wanted a 'voice' different from my other acoustics.<br />

"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 <strong>Walden</strong>, is<br />

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<br />

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<br />

lower-end of the <strong>Walden</strong> model/price spectrum, the high-end models must be outstanding.”<br />

finish. Keep up the good work! It amazes me that with this quality and price point that <strong>Walden</strong>s aren't more common."

Natura<br />

Like aging a fine wine, the more<br />

you play a Natura, the better it<br />

will sound. Only solid spruce and<br />

cedar soundboards are used on a<br />

Natura guitar because the tone<br />

of a solid top improves as the the<br />

natural wood fibers resonate and<br />

respond to your musical style.<br />

Natura N700<br />

The clarity, brightness and complex harmonic structure of the 700 series classical guitar originates from a solid<br />

wood soundboard paired with a solid wood back. The solid Western Red Cedar soundboard/solid Rosewood back<br />

model produces warmth and breath, whereas the solid Sitka Spruce/solid Mahogany back model is crisp and<br />

bright. Natural aging lacquer ensures that the tone continues to blossom as the solid woods open up. Tasteful<br />

ornamentations like an inlaid wood rosette and mitred trim complete these excellent solid wood classical<br />

guitars.<br />

Natura N600<br />

Solid Spruce tonewood is a prized classical guitar soundboard. When mated with Indian Rosewood back<br />

and sides, the resulting N660 rewards the player with beautiful rich tone and a brilliant harmonic overtone<br />

structure. Naturally aging satin lacquer and a Hauser-inspired fan bracing design add richness and depth to<br />

the voice of the N660. In tune with standards set for the traditional classical guitar, the N660 features tasteful<br />

ornamentation such as an inlaid wood rosette, mitred back and side purfling and a rosewood scarfed head-joint<br />

veneer.<br />

Acoustic-electric models feature Fishman Presys+ on-Board electronics with tuner.<br />

Natura N500<br />

When you are ready to play a solid top classical guitar, you should start with a <strong>Walden</strong> Natura 500 series<br />

guitar. Choose a solid Spruce or Western Red Cedar soundboard and you are sure to discover a pleasing voice<br />

for your musical journey. Finished with naturally aging nitrocellulose lacquer, you can expect your great<br />

sounding classical guitar to get better the more and more you play. The 500 series comes bound in black, with a<br />

rosewood bridge, fingerboard and headplate.<br />

"I let my brother and three other friends try my <strong>Walden</strong>s and none of them believed the quality, and<br />
