Our friend Jonathan Lee, founder of Walden Guitars. Jonathan designs and builds guitars with passion. And the proof is in the tone. Stop by when you have a chance and check them out. Outstanding guitars at an affordable price.
Rock on Jonathan !!

Each and every independent guitar store still standing is worth celebrating. Meet Paul Tobias, owner at Tobias Music in Chicagoland. Paul is a great guy and friend to the Walden project. He has super high-end guitars to drool over- and if you can afford an American luthier-made guitar, by all means, you should get one. And get one from an indy dealer like Paul. (And if you can't afford one, Walden will get you all the tone for a tenth of the price. 😉)
