NEW ARRIVALThis is a great example of the original size, bigger bodied Lowden, with the classic combination of Cedar top and Mahogany back and sides. The first thing to mention is the look of the guitar - it has one of the darkest Cedar tops I’ve seen, suggesting a real maturity to it’s sound that you’d look for in a 26 year old guitar. Tonally It has a warm, full sound, with great resonance and clarity, and the neck has a great feel and very comfortable playing action. The guitar is in well played condition, with quite a lot of visible playwear on the top, which has just added to the maturity of tone, making it a very difficult guitar to put down. There is a small crack repair just below the neck valute, but as this is probably the strongest part of the guitar, it’s not an issue. As with all Lowdens it handles alternate tuning particularly well, and is equally happy being fingerpicked or strummed. It comes in it's original Lowden embossed Hiscox hard case.
