It's punchy and articulate. The overall condition is great for the age, just light play wear. A well matured Lowden in the rare Dread body.

Player Reviews:
"The voice of this guitar is perfect for Celtic music, it has the power and projection for Doyle-esque style. But it also has a richness thanks to the Cedar top. Fingerstyle players that like a lot of bass will also be drawn to this one. It's cool to see a 15 year old Lowden still going strong." - Paul Heumiller
"This is the first Lowden Dread I've played. It has a nice woody tone and lots of projection. " - Al Petteway
