Location: Dallas, GA		I have a Walden G3030ce 6-string for trade. It is a 2005, top of Walden's SupraNatura line. This model is a Grand Auditorium cutaway with a solid cedar top, solid rosewood back and sides, maple binding, ebony fingerboard, real bone nut and saddle; ebony bridge and pins. And it comes with a Rok Sak Patchwork Leather Gig Bag.

Im sure you have read the threads on these guitars and they are all true!! These are INCREDIBLE guitars for the money, they sale new for $1200. I have two Waldens now and this one's tone just sounds a little too much like a Taylor I have so I want to try something different.

Here are specifics related to this particular guitar. Please keep in mind that I am very picky and I am attempting to disclose all minor defects relative to a factory new guitar.
1) Neck is straight without a mark on it; action is low without fret buzz.
2) The only visible fret wear are the typical, but in this case very, very slight line below the “B” and high “E” strings across the first 2-3 frets.
3) There are a few dings on the sound board near the cutaway and below the sound hole; very superficial and not prominate, but visable.
4) There is some shine on the finish on the sound board, but only visible at just the right angle…it can be covered with a pickguard
5) The original factory tuners have been replaced with upgraded grover tuners. As a result the very small holes on the back of the headstock that have been filled and are hardly noticable
6) Fishman Ellipse Pro is fully functional and sounds great.

I will also include in the trade a lightly used Dean TNA Mandolin. It comes with a gig-bag and strap. they sale new for $219. Here are the specs:

Dean Tennessee A Mandolin Features:

A Body Style
Select Solid Spruce Top
Mahogany Back & Sides
13-3/4" Scale & 1-3/32" Nut
Grover Tuners
Mahogany Neck
Rosewood Fingerboard
Dot Inlays
20 Frets
MOP Binding


I would be interested in trading for any of the following (preferably in a GA/OM size but will also consider Jumbos/Dreadnaughts), I am pretty open to any acoustic trades as long as it is the same value as the Walden and Mandolin togther ($800):

- Walden CG2010
- Walden CG2000ceq
- Walden CO2000
- Walden G3000
- Walden CG4070
- Blueridge BR-163
- Blueridge BR-243
- Recording King ROJ-227
- Recording King RO-227
- Recording King RO-27SN
- Watcha got thats similar??

Location: Hot Springs, S.D.		I don't care much for Dean instruments, but that Walden is NICE! I don't really have anything to trade, but I know that whoever ends up with that Walden is going to be VERY happy. These really are great guitars. Good luck with it!

Location: Dallas, GA		Yes the Waldens are by far (IMHO) the best "bang for you buck" guitar on the market today. This same guitar as it sits with woods/appointments...if it had a Taylor headstock would be three times the price. And these sound just as good as the Taylor in my opinion.....and I LOVE Taylors and own a few so I am pretty un-biased in that statement

Location: Dallas, GA		Oh...and I really dont care for Dean instruments either but this Mandolin is actually pretty sweet. It has plenty of volume and great tone. Would be a really nice starter-intermediate level mandolin.

Location: Dallas, GA		By the way I would also trade for a 1868 Elite Super Shallowbowl as well......or other SSB Ovations with the Epaulets.
