2001 Lowden O-35c SLE, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
With guitars like these in your life, it’s hard to think you could ever have a bad day. We’re big fans of Lowdens here at Dream–George’s team has put out tons of powerhouse guitars for decades now–but there’s something special about getting to visit with an older O-35c SLE (Special Limited Edition) model that’s upfitted with gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood. Add in play time, the alchemy of Cedar as it opens up, and a sweetly rounded neck profile, and you’ve got a recipe for a PMPG: Pretty Much Perfect Guitar. This is number five of a limited run from 2001, has been played in and bears the marks of regular loving use, and is ready for more action. The voice. Is. Huge. Wide open and colorful, but with a particularly crisp and snappy fundamental that you wouldn’t otherwise expect from a Cedar top. So you get the best of both, warm complexity and a well-defined fundamental. Comes wrapped up in a newer Ameritage case.

2018 Lowden F-50, All Koa
From 2018 and crafted in Ireland, this all-Koa Lowden F-50 is an exceptional example of George Lowden’s artistry. It carries all the hallmarks players love about Lowden guitars: a comfortable neck profile, multi-piece neck construction, clear pickguard, pinless bridge, and an arm bevel for playing comfort. This instrument transcends the “all-hardwood” stereotype with a voice that is vibrant, lively, and sparkling in character. The Koa is of the highest quality, just as one would expect from Lowden’s shop, and the guitar is housed in its Ameritage case.

2022 George Lowden Master Series F, Koa/Sinker Redwood
A finer Lowden we’ve yet to see. This rare Master Series F Model comes from George Lowden himself, from the master’s hands to ours. To your hands next! Pairing Figured Koa back and sdies with a Sinker Redwood top, George combines a dry/woody fundamental with sweet warmth for a very complete, engrossing voice. Seriously, this Master Series has exquisite note definition and clarity, the kind that allows big chords to ring out in all their glory, and lead runs crisp and defined. For creature comfort, an arm bevel has been added, and to set off the Sinker Redwood top George trimmed out with sparkling green-blue Abalone (matched at the rosette), and enlisted Larry Robinson for a delicate stem and butterfly at the 12th fret.
Ready to own a unique slice of the Lowden story? This 2022 Master Series from George Lowden is the centerpiece you’ve been looking for.

2018 Lowden BAR-50 F/F Baritone, African Blackwood/Adirondack Spruce
Balanced power. This 2018 Lowden Baritone is one of George’s BAR-50 F/F models, boasting an expansive multiscale fan fret setup of 28 inches down the 26 3/8 inches. The result is lots of power on the bottom end, but sweetness and easy playability on the top–the best of both worlds for a baritone. Moreover, the Lowden team upfitted this model with master grade African Blackwood back and sides and master grade Adirondack Spruce, which is one of our alltime favorite tonewood combinations. The result is glassy note definition and lots of power. The body is tied up with Tasmanian Blackwood everywhere for a striking look. Satin finish throughout for excellent neck feel, and a body that won’t blind your audience under the glare of the bright lights.

2016 Lowden F-50, African Blackwood/Redwood
Lowden’s 50 series offers select appointments, and here on their popular F-50 with Redwood and African Blackwood the result is gorgeous for both eyes and ears. This is one of those “does-it-all” kind of guitars; The midsize F body is easy on the arms and still packs a solid punch for a range of styles. We’re suckers for African Blackwood, and this 2016 Lowden F-50 has a great set with some figuring to add drama.

2019 Lowden BAR-50 F/F Baritone, Fiddleback Mahogany & Alpine Spruce
More power! But in an easy playing package. We took in this 2019 Lowden fan fret baritone O-50, and it went right back out the door before we could even list it. Fiddleback Mahogany body, Alpine Spruce top, 28-26.25″ multiscale setup–an energetic baritone voice with added woody crunch from the Hog/Alpine combo.

2019 Lowden S-50, All-Tasmanian Blackwood
Dressed up with striking tonewoods and Lowden’s trademark super thin satin finish, this 2019 S-50 cuts a fine figure with 50-style appointments, arm bevel, and Gotoh 510 tuners. The short 24 3/4″ scale is quite easy in hand, and that bevel ratchets up player comfort even more so. Lowden’s S body size is just so comfy. On the tone front, this S-50 has a dry and quick voice with snappy trebles and just a touch of sparkle. Thanks to an all-Tasmanian Blackwood body, no doubt. In 2019-2020, Lowden and co offered an exclusive series of all-blackwood instruments, and this S-50 14-fret is one of the select few from that run.

2019 Lowden S-50W, All Walnut
2019 but already wide awake. We landed this Lowden S-50W and were immediately struck by the gorgeous all Walnut body that’s set off by pale Maple bindings and arm bevel. 24 3/4” scale length makes for easy playability, and the 50 series appointments with Abalone GL Leaf inlays along the fretboard offers an understated aesthetic to better show off the figuring of all this Walnut. The voice has great balance and woody characteristics, and it has this cool warming up quality that comes out after a few minutes’ play. Definitely a great choice for the player who wants a full spectrum sound in a smaller package.

In the summer of 1961, at the age of ten, George began what was to be a lifelong pursuit to build guitars, which would inspire players with their sound, feel and looks. “My friend Alan French and I made two guitars” with the help of his dad, who was a boat builder in Groomsport, County Down. The “guitars” had fishing line for strings, bent over nails for frets, and a square soundbox!!” – George Lowden “I learned everything the hard way. I had no one to teach me how to avoid the obvious pitfalls. I tried new shapes, bracing designs and many other ideas and gradually emerged from the ‘hard school’ of self taught guitar making.” – George Lowden.
We are proud to represent both George Lowden’s personally crafted guitars and his new George Lowden small production factory in Ireland. George has parted from Avalon and is now producing small numbers of the highest quality instruments without compromise.
