The NATURA G550RCEL Grand Auditorium is a Left-handed acoustic-electric guitar with cutaway, ideal for left-handed players looking for the volume of a full sized instrument with the comfort of a smaller body. Walden’s ergonomic armrest also enhances player comfort.
Premium features include a bookmatched, quartersawn solid Spruce top from the Pacific Northwest and Walden’s weight reducing Low-Mass bracing. The back and sides are hewn from Mahogany. The Glass-fibre reinforced Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard ensures a lifetime of neck stability.
The G550RCEL has a powerful voice that is rich, focused and harmonically complex.
A Graphtech NuBone nut and saddle, environmentally friendly UV Cured open-pore satin finish and D’Addario Coated 80/20 Bronze strings further contribute to the acoustic sonic excellence of this guitar. Walden MG-20 Active Electronics with onboard Tuner perfectly translate the acoustic tones of this guitar when amplified.
Other tasteful details include black binding, an inlaid 2-ring rosette, a Pearl Walden logo and chrome die-cast tuners.
Exclusive Pro-SCM Setup
Walden make great guitars and its no surprise that timber is used for the most part for the construction of these fine instruments.
Timber comes from trees and with the changes in weather conditions, humidity etc, these timbers often try to be trees again.
Necks can move, fretboards can shrink ever-so-slightly exposing sharp fret ends, etc, etc.
It is also impossible at the factory level to second guess the exact requirements of how a player likes their instrument to be setup, so they are setup within a defined tolerance.
We setup a lot of instruments.
This instrument for example will be setup for you before it leaves our shop. We will discuss your preferences and work towards providing that. If you are a beginner we will guide you and ensure that this instrument is as easy to play as it possibly can be.
Our Pro-SCM setup includes:
• Check that the action meets factory or your specifications
• Check and rectify any buzzing, intonation or playability issues
• Check and adjust the nut and bridge string heights
• Hand roll the fret ends to debur the sharp edges and polish the frets
• Test electronics, pots and switches for correct function
• Inspect instrument construction and condition of the strings
• Tune to pitch
As a paid service this setup can easily cost $250 or more – it’s included in our price…now, that’s real value!
