Lowden Guitars

Custom/Standard

George Lowden designed the original, or "O" body size to feature a large sound box with a very distinctive outline. The lightness of weight is achieved by using split, rather than sawn, woods. Combined with the unique Lowden construction methods, this results in a guitar with immense power—yet surprising sensitivity. A precisely-balanced sound is achieved by voicing the bracing pattern to discipline the naturally deep basses to blend with the clear and precise trebles. The Lowden "F" body size was designed by George to produce a more complex, focused sound while retaining the characteristic power and brilliance of the "O" series. This is achieved by individually hand-tuning the top bracing pattern to emphasize the lower frequencies, which compliment the natural vibrancies of the upper and mid ranges. This creates, in the "F" series, a guitar of unequaled versatility for both fingerpicking and flatpicking styles.
