I am not a professional musician. I do know a good
instrument when I see one though, and I have had
the opportunity to play quality instruments such as
Martin, Taylor, Ovation, Takamine, etc.
I bought my G630CE from eBay as a new but
blemished due to two tiny hairline cracks in the
lacquer, so I paid only about one third of the
normal United Kingdom retail price. Because of
that I knew I would be getting a pretty good
instrument for a bargain price, but this did not
prepare me for what I discovered when I
opened the box.
The guitar was presented very well in its
standard cardboard box, and comes with a
great little humidifier and full instructions
for that and the electrics. I was a little
worried about the darkness of the back and
sides and feared that it may be inferior
wood or plywood stained to emulate
rosewood very convincingly, but quickly
discovered that not only are the back and
sides good tonewoods, but the cedar top
is of a close-grained quality that is
quite rare these days. The finish
quality is as perfect as one can hope
for in a natural wood instrument,
and the fretwork was immaculate.
The only thing I would say is that
the bridge and fingerboard do
need some feeding as they look
and feel a bit dry, but this is
normal and should be done
regularly by the user
anyway.
guitar before
tuning it to pitch which was done accurately with
the quality gold coloured machine heads that
enhance the appearance. Wow! The guitar sang
sweetly and stayed in tune after a quick stretch of
the strings and a re-tune. The intonation is spot
on, and harmonics ring out better than any other
acoustic I have played. The neck is very
comfortable and string spacing feels
somewhere between a standard steel string
acoustic and a Fender Stratocaster, so it's
easy to get an immediate feel for the
fretboard.
The Fishman Classic 4 transducer does not
let the guitar down when plugged in. Even
though I first tested it on a little 10 watt
Ibanez acoustic amp, the tones were true
and very lively. The graphic equaliser works
very well when playing through different
amps and altering playing style, and gives
enough variation and compensation for just
about anyone's needs. I tried to make it
boom and feed back, but I found it
almost impossible where much more
expensive guitars have annoyingly
done so without trying.
I'm going to love playing this guitar,
and I would recommend this
model to any serious amateur or
professional musician without
reservation at the full retail
price. In other words, my
bargain purchase is not
flavouring my perceptions of
what is a quality instrument.

"Toco desde os 14 anos e nunca tinha ouvido falar

da marca Walden aqui no Brasil. Hoje tenho 29, e a
h um ano atrs, ao procurar por um bom violo
eltrico que combinasse preo, sonoridade, afinao,
qualidade das matrias-primas e um acabamento
bem feito, s encontrei no meu Walden D560CE, foi
amor ao primeiro acorde. No princpio fiquei
desconfiado porque nunca havia ouvido falar de tal
marca, nenhum dos meus amigos tinha ou conhecia
tais violes. Tive muita sorte quando o atendente me
ofereceu para testar um violo que eu sequer tinha
percebido na loja. Sou apaixonado pelo meu Walden.
Plugadou ou no, o som que eu sempre esperei de um violo."
[English translation: "I've played since I was 14 years old and had never heard of Walden here in Brazil.
Today I'm 29 years old and last year I was looking for a good electric guitar that combined price, sound,
refinement, quality materials and a good finish. I found it only in my Walden D560CE and it was love at
the first chord. In the beginning I was distrustful because I have never heard of the brand and none of my
friends had or knew of these guitars. I was very lucky when the salesman let me test so I could hear what
it sounded like in the store. I have gotten
passionate about my Walden. Plugged or
unplugged, it's the sound that I have always
wanted from a guitar."]
