I'd been holding out for a cedar top walden as I tried the spruce one and found that I didn't like the tone of them too much as they were overly bright in my opinion, this one is less bright and has a warm natural compression to it with each string being very balanced.
I would have gone for the D1030 but unfortunately they dont ship those models world wide :(
never the less this is an excellent guitar and sounds warm and mellow.

I had mine out of the box and it was lovely, low action and played perfectly better than guitars double its price.

Excellent before purchasing I emailed walden to ask for some demos as they have a lot of samples on their web site but mainly the g models. I got an excellent guide from Jonathan Walden on what to look for in each different wood and the characteristics of their sound and what would suit my playing style best, excellent advice all round.

all I can say is that i don't know how they manage to do it, with making excellent quality guitars at such affordable prices if only more manufactures could put this much pride and quality into lower priced guitars.

out of the box sound is very bright, saddle and nut are plastic, replaced saddle with bone sound is much better, might also replace
nut with bone to tone down a little, sound is good guitar is still

got this on ebay for 150.00 is a b stock item , cannot find the flaw that makes it a b stock, replace nut and saddle with bone and you have
a very nice guitar that is close to a martin d15 spruce model, i dont
know what these guitars are retail without b stock discount but they
sound very nice for a fair price
