Walden g800ce review

[fingerpicking J]

so I got a new walden g800ce yesterday and it blew my mind! its an all solid wood guitar, infact probably the cheapest all solid wood guitar i have seen but its sound and finish is in no way cheap. its got an amazing rich low and mid as well as a pretty good high. Overall
sound 8.5/10
price 9.5/10
playability(after a truss rod adjustment) 8.5/10
intonation 9/10
looks and finish 8.5/10
overall an amazing guitar for its price!!

And the price was??????

in dollars i think it costs about 750 to 850 ... not too, sure but similar specs on a taylor would cost a bundle more ...

Always liked Waldens they are great playing, sounding guitars I'm surprised they don't get more recognition. Glad you are enjoying yours.

Walden guitars have a lovely sound that I have not found reproduced by other makers. It is kind of like when people say "That Taylor sound"... yeah, Walden's have "That Walden sound". I agree that more people should try them if they get a chance, they may be surprised at how nice they are (they are hard to find in the wild, though, unless you go to a dealer).

I just traded away my Walden CG4070 a few weeks back, only becuase of the neck profile wasn't working for me. Other than that, that guitar was one of the best sounding guitars I have ever come across and with a build quality that was up there with guitars costing many times the price (was about $1,100 new). It killed me to let it go, but I had to due to my hand cramping (neck was to thin for me). The sound still haunts me and it will take me a long time to get past it.

The Walden classical (CN2030) I have is also heavenly. I love this guitar and for some reason the neck works for me (maybe the width of the classical offsets the thiness??). That one I will not let go of.

Good luck with your Walden, may it bring you happiness for years to come
