Lowden O10c. Handmade in Ireland, sept 2007 build. 6 month old, purchased from Sean at Vintage Guitars. Fishman pickup/preamp installed. Rounded cutaway, mahogany sides and back, cedar top, 5-piece mahogany and rosewood neck, ebony fretboard, 1-3/4" nut width, 25-1/2" scale, rosewood bridge, rosewood-maple top binding and rosette, clear pickguard, C+, 16-3/8" lower bout. Nothing quite sounds like a Lowden, The hand-crafted guitars from Northern Ireland are serious alternatives to the mainstream big boys from the other side of the pond and have won a loyal following all their own from those in the know. Forget your Martins and Taylors, this is the juice. The two-piece saddle is offset, for more accurate tuning, particularly of the troublesome G and B strings. From first strum of the strings, this Lowden projects a startlingly big and bright sound, with a ringing kaleidoscope of sound right across the spectrum that hangs and resonates inside the deep body with huge sustain. Sweet trebles and a bold mid-range are complemented by deep, piano-like bass strings, so that finger-pickers, in particular, will enjoy the clarity and precision this brings. Comes complete with Hiscox flight case and Warranty Booklet. A couple of really micro dings, means I will offer this at a really, really low price. Another Lowden on it's way forces reluctant sale. Once you try a Lowden, nothing else will do. Bargain quick sale price £1400.

Before you ask - despite my commercial intent,I stumbled on this forum by accident, similar Acoustic Guitar Forum i suppose. Be Nice to start dialogue with people. I have 2 Lowdens, a McIlroy ( my fav) 2 Gibsons, 2 vintage Fenders. Would like the lowden to find a nice home, It took me ages to get mine.
