1998 George Lowden Guitars 038C - Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
There's nothing quite like a big body Lowden guitar giving it's all. This one is boisterous and energetic, it's Brazilian Rosewood back & sides blending perfectly with the European Spruce top for a sophisticated, yet playful tone. The trademark Lowden brilliance and clarity are here in spades. This one loves to be strummed or fingerpicked and the playability is outstanding as is the condition.
Audio played by Al Petteway
Artists who play instruments by this builder: Eric Clapton, Alex de Grassi, Richard Thompson, Acoustic Alchemy, David Gray, Damien Rice, Paul Brady, Hothouse Flowers

"The O body from George and company is so much fun to play. It's powerful and full of color and shimmer. This one plays great all the way up the fingerboard and can be hit hard or soft. A gem." - Paul Heumiller
