2000-2001 George Lowden Guitars 0-35C - Jumbo Acoustic Guitar
This custom Lowden was built for recording artist and Fingerstyle Champ Todd Hallawell. As Todd tells it "I picked out the Brazilian in Arizona and sent it to George. I was on my way to gigs in Poland and Germany when we got a call from telling me that he was going to ship the guitar to me. So, we diverted to Ireland for a few days so I could fly home with it myself. George gave me that guitar when Kay and I were staying at his house. It surprised me a little when he handed it to me. Turns out he had been working on it at his own shop. I thought I was going to pick it up at the factory." This is clearly a special Lowden crafted for a pro player. The wood is spectacular and it is louder and stronger than any we've played. This has that special something extra.
Audio played by Al Petteway

Player Reviews:
"This is a unique Lowden that George Lowden personally oversaw construction of for Todd. It has more gears than any I've played to date and wondrous clarity of voice. I just love it, it seems to have some of Todd's mojo in it for sure..." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has an amazing amount of balance for its size. It is focused and not muddy at all. A nice recording guitar." - Al Petteway
