The 12-String D552E is a solid Spruce top acoustic-electric Dreadnought featuring Walden’s novel weight reducing Low-Mass bracing. 12-String guitars have a shimmering, harmonically inspirational sound unique to a 12-String. The D552E has a Glass-fibre reinforced Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard ensuring the neck is strong and stiff under the additional tension of 12-strings.
Bookmatched, quartersawn soundboards from the Pacific Northwest provide the richness and tone found only in a Low-Mass braced solid top. Graphtech NuBone nut and saddle, an environmentally friendly UV Cured open-pore satin finish, and D’Addario coated EXP11 strings further contribute to sonic excellence. Walden MG-20 Active Electronics with onboard Tuner sounds great plugged in. 500 series guitars are tastefully detailed with black binding, an inlaid 2-ring rosette, a pearl Walden logo, and chrome die-cast tuners.
