Walden O550E acoustic/electric guitar

The NATURA O550E is an acoustic-electric orchestra model with a solid spruce top in folk format, featuring Walden's new weight-saving Low-Mass bracing. It has an intimate, balanced, and harmonically complex tone and is suitable for players seeking a smaller, more comfortable instrument. A fiberglass-reinforced mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard ensures lifelong neck stability.

NATURA 500. Stripped down to the essence of what makes a great guitar, the 500 Series guitars are the most affordable entry point into the Natura line. The bookmatched, quarter-sawn back and sides, sourced from the Pacific Northwest, deliver the richness and tone found only in a solid, low-mass-braced top. Graphtech NuBone nut and saddle, an environmentally friendly UV-cured, open-pore satin finish, and D'Addario-coated EXP11 strings further contribute to the superb tone. Walden MG-20 active electronics with a built-in tuner sound fantastic when connected. 500 Series guitars are tastefully detailed with black binding, an inlaid 2-ring rosette, a pearloid Walden logo, and chrome die-cast tuners.

Solid spruce top

Spruce is one of the most traditional woods used to make guitar tops. This is due to its stiffness and ideal strength-to-weight ratio. These characteristics give spruce a very dynamic sensitivity and a rich tone with many harmonic overtones. This makes it excellent for both powerful strumming and delicate fingerpicking.

Mahogany sides and back

Mahogany has long been a highly sought-after wood for the back and sides of acoustic guitars. Its warm, rounded bass tone provides a foundation for any musical style to reach the listener. The midrange is very strong and full-bodied, while the treble is delicate and very pleasant.

Fiberglass reinforced neck

The neck of this guitar is reinforced with fiberglass strips. These strips provide extra reinforcement, improving the neck's stability. This results in more consistent tuning and improved playability, even over long periods of time.
