2011 Walter Millennium Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Redwood
From venerable luthier and classical guitarist Steven Walter, we’ve got a special Millennium model in the shop today that is an absolute delight. This 2011 Millennium was Steven’s personal guitar for several years, and has the rich and opened up voice to prove it. Brazilian Rosewood back and sides over Redwood, an elevated fingerboard in Thomas Humphrey’s style, fan bracing up top and twin soundports flanking the neck heel. 650mm scale and a medium thickness neck; weighs in under four pounds; responsive to a range of attacks and articulate to a fault.
Here’s an additional demo with our own Andy Jurik: https://youtu.be/01crMQXP0bE.

Plug this one into the mainline! What a powerhouse. Steven Walter’s been building in the Humphrey Millennium style for years, each time resulting in a strong, vigorous voice, and this beauty from 2013 is just that. Great fundamental, with a powerful projection from the elevated fingerboard and activated top; plus twin soundports to add a bit of “me in the monitors” fo the player. The back and sides are dramatically figured Malaysian Blackwood, and we’ve got Cedar on top. A softer tone wood than Spruce, but here producing a crisp and dynamic tone. 650mm scale feels right at home, and Walter added a side dot at the seventh fret for easier fretboard orienteering.

We relish classicals that capture our attention from the first pluck, and this 2003 Concert Classical from Steven Walter did just that. Clarity, energy, and responsiveness characterize this beautiful example of Steven’s work, here in Madagascar Rosewood and European Spruce. The elevated fingerboard in the style of Thomas Humphrey’s Millenium Classical helps upper fret access, and adds to the sheer resonance and projection of the Euro Spruce top. A single side dot at the seventh fret is a modern concession that we find incredibly helpful. The neck has a decently full D shape that’s easy on the hands, and playability is superb. Hauser-style Rodgers tuners are a wonder to look at, and even more so to tune, and the entire guitar is French Polished for maximum resonance.
This is a cherished Walter Classical that’s been taken care of over the past 15 years, and it’s definitely more than ready to keep at it!Other keywords: nylon string, stephen walter, fingerstyle, classical music, rosette, lutherie, luthier

Walter Verreydt made his first guitar in 1985. As a woodworker teacher and music lover, it was a logical step to take an interest in the construction of musical instruments.
His passion for the sound of the classical guitar drove him to guitar building.
From the start, Walter had the opportunity to study the work of renowned builders such as Bouchet, Fleta, Hernandez-Aguado, and others. He also had good contacts with eminent luthiers such as José Romanillos and Daniël Friederich. This was a rich source of information for him. In Granada he became acquainted with the elegant and refined southern Spanish guitar building tradition.
Since 1988 Walter Verreydt has been teaching at the Center for Musical Instrument Building in Puurs (Belgium). In addition to the necessary basic techniques, he tries to instill an affinity for the instrument and the craft in his students.
