<strong>Walden</strong> <strong>Guitars</strong> is the vision of American Luthier Jonathan Lee who learned his trade while<br />
partnered with Master Luthier Charles Fox. Together they built hundreds of handmade guitars<br />
in their small shop in Sonoma Country, California. Ten years later, Jonathan now leads a group<br />
of skilled builders in the small town of Lilan, Northern China, incorporating the standards<br />
established by generations of guitar makers and the precision of contemporary tools and<br />
technology.<br />
The results: great sounding, high quality, mid-priced instruments you will be proud to call your<br />
own for a lifetime.<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> <strong>Guitars</strong>? 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> <strong>Guitars</strong> is committed to developing legal sourcing for all our<br />
materials and 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> <strong>Guitars</strong><br />
the opportunity to appeal to your heart and touch your soul.<br />

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 />

Madera 4000<br />
The <strong>Walden</strong> Madera line is built with<br />
traditional guitar tonewoods. The<br />
difference is that these tonewoods are<br />
certified FSC-100%, meaning they all<br />
originate from well managed forests.<br />
Certified North American Sitka spruce<br />
or Western Red cedar soundboards with<br />
Central American Mahogany back, sides,<br />
and necks result in instruments with<br />
the voice you expect, without the guilt<br />
of clear-cutting rainforests. FSC-100%<br />
certified South American Katalox is also<br />
known as Mexican Ebony and is used<br />
for the fingerboard, bridge and headplate.<br />
All Madera steel-string instruments<br />
are recognizable by the tasteful “wood<br />
character” pearl embellishment below the<br />
pearl <strong>Walden</strong> headstock logo, an abalone<br />
two-ring rosette, and faux-tortoise shell<br />
binding. The all-solid Grand Auditorium<br />
CG4070E-CERT, with a wider 1¾” wide<br />
bone nut and a deep, rich voice, it is<br />
the fingerstylist’s choice. The all-solid<br />
Dreadnought CD4040E-CERT is a “classic”<br />
with its loud volume and great response.<br />
Both are available with <strong>Walden</strong>’s Tobacco<br />
Burst finish. The all solid Mahogany G &<br />
D 4041E-CERT models have a clarity that<br />
make them especially popular for blues<br />
pickers.<br />

“Green Guitarist’s Dream”<br />
“With its FSC 100% certified tonewoods, the CD4040-CERT is perfect for the thoughtfully green guitarist. It’s<br />
also a bargain as an all-solid-wood guitar with good looks and a robust sound, suitable for a variety of styles.<br />
And with its versatile voice, the CD4040E-CERT would also make a great go-to acoustic for any recording buff.”<br />

SupraNatura 3000<br />
The lutherie standards for handmade guitars were applied to<br />
create the all solid wood, flame maple bound SupraNatura 3000.<br />
Appointments such as a wood-abalone rosette, faceted Ebony<br />
bridge and unmarked fingerboard please without being ostentatious<br />
— the definition of "understated elegance." Whether you choose a<br />
G3000 or the G3030CE/CEQ you will be rewarded by the depth and<br />
balance of a handmade instrument. The G3030CE features Fishman<br />
Ellipse blend on-board electronics. The G3030CEQ comes with<br />
Fishman Prefix Pro on-board electronics.<br />

SupraNatura 2000<br />
Full harmonic content and complexity originates from building an instrument of all solid<br />
tonewoods. These Mahogany back and side guitars feature the distinction of Rosewood<br />
binding, all-wood trim, and a 2-ring rosette comprised of inlaid strips of Mahogany and<br />
Maple. Bridge and endpins are solid rosewood. Nut and saddle are bone. The simple<br />
elegance of these designs compliments the rich complexity of the guitar's voice.<br />
G2070<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 />
other guitar at any price could be significantly better in aesthetics, playability, or sound. It’s like a handmade custom instrument. This<br />
thing is as clear as a bell, and set up perfectly. Thanks a million for making these guitars available at such a great price."<br />

These solid top, solid back guitars are the entry to the SupraNatura line. The<br />
complex voice originates from a "pre-war" scalloped-X braced soundboard, bone<br />
nut and saddle, and graphite reinforced neck. With features usually found on<br />
much higher priced instruments such as all-wood trim and rosette and a lacquer<br />
finish, SupraNaturas are an exceptional value.<br />

Estonia Harmonica Festival<br />

Photo: Leif Laaksonen<br />
It's 9 a.m. at the biggest pub in Estonia, in the biggest summer resort in the country, it's raining, the room is filled with harmonicas<br />
and lederhosen, we've been driving since 6 o'clock and the coffee machine is broken.<br />
Our harmonica festival shows aren't scheduled to start before the evening but our harpist has insisted on entering the competition;<br />
Indrek's jittery and I'm sleepy, he walks away with Silver. A fellow musician points to my T550 and goes: "The bass lines were prerecorded,<br />
right?" "Nah, just me and my <strong>Walden</strong>... "<br />
Dennis, the American whom we're to back that evening, is still recovering from a late night, so we're off for pancakes in the rain.<br />
Ten hours later Dennis and I are on the concert hall stage with my partner Martin, winging it in front of TV cameras and trying to<br />
look as worried as the black-tie audience. "I learned a new song tonight," Dennis brags backstage. "We learned two," I shoot back.<br />
"Well, I'll have two more for you tomorrow," he grins. A grey-haired gentleman in an impeccably white suit walks up: "Thank you<br />
very much! My wife insisted that I tell you: your playing on that slow blues was so beautiful, it brought tears to our eyes."<br />
It's Friday night and there're five more shows to do with Indrek and Dennis. On Sunday Steve's flying in from London and we hit the<br />
road.<br />
As long as they fix that coffee machine...<br />
Natura 700<br />
The added tonal complexity and richness of a 700 series guitar results<br />
from using solid quartersawn, bookmatched woods for the soundboard<br />

scalloped-X braced guitar. Embellished by a 2-ring abalone rosette,<br />
white bound body trim and gold tuners with black buttons, the 700<br />

Concorda 2000<br />
Handmade, all solid Concorda 2000 guitars are close relatives to<br />
their SupraNatura cousins, sharing a handmade bone nut-saddle,<br />
rosewood binding and wood trim, a graphite reinforced neck and the<br />
SupraNatura narrow neck shape. A gloss finish and maple-mahogany<br />
rosette are refinements that complete the alluring Concorda 2000.<br />
The CD2040 mates a Sitka top with mahogany and a standard 1 ¹¹⁄ 16<br />
"nut to produce a voice and playability in line with its "workhorse"<br />
lineage. Wide 1¾" neck G and O bodies serve finger-stylists, each<br />
incorporating solid Indian rosewood sides contributing to the breadth<br />
and resonance characteristic of this wood. On the CG2000CEQ, Prefix<br />
Pro electronics made by Fishman ensure the guitar sounds as great<br />
on stage as it does unamplified.<br />
CG2000CEQ<br />
“SIMPLICITY, SIMPLICITY, SIMPLICITY!”<br />
“The much feted character exhibited by those earlier instruments springs fully to life with the CG2000CEQ;<br />
it is a guitar that can confidently play whichever role you assign it, and all with a voice that you just want to<br />
keep hearing.”<br />

different from my other acoustics. I am also very pleased with the workmanship, attention to detail, and the 'Bluesy<br />
voice'. Unbelievable! If this is the overall quality present at the lower-end of the <strong>Walden</strong> model/price spectrum, the<br />

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 guitars.<br />
