Add to Compare2019 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.

Add to Compare2019 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.

This 2019 WL-35J is the perfect companion for acoustic and amplified gigs, plays effortlessly with a short scale, nylon string setup, and is gorgeous to boot. The L.R. Baggs Session VTS pickup system sounds oh so good. An excellent example of the modern crossover guitar from a modern maker: the Lowden WL-35 Jazz.

George Lowden’s F body does it all, and does so exceedingly well. Here paired with AAAA Ebony back and sides and AAAA Sinker Redwood on top and Tasmanian Blackwood bindings/bevel, the resulting voice combines a punchy bottom end with warm mids and smooth trebles that cut nicely through the mix. The GL Standard neck profile feels full in hand with a generous C-shaped profile, and this beauty has a silk-smooth setup that feels effortless.

Add to Compare2015 Lowden S-35J Jazz, Brazilian Rosewood/Alpine Spruce
Powerful and balanced in equal measure, lightweight and effortless in hand. We’ve landed a dynamite 2015 Lowden S-35J in Brazilian Rosewood and Alpine Spruce that’s ready to be yours! Fantastic condition, with Lowden’s classic satin finish everywhere for maximum resonance and a velvet play feel, plus these nylon crossovers are bolstered by the creature comforts of a 14-fret neck, cutaway, radiused fretboard, and slimmer nut (1 7/8”). Moreover, this beauty has a K&K Classic Mini pickup installed which sounds fantabulous, even just straight into our Genzler Acoustic Array.
You simply can’t go wrong with this Lowden: it’s an exercise in effortlessness to play, and rings out with sweet riches and precision.Other keywords: hiscox, lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, fingerpicking, liteflite, xover guitar, guitar, small guitar, fingerstyle, 19648

Add to Compare2021 Lowden S-50 12-Fret, Cocobolo Rosewood/Driftwood Red Cedar
George Lowden’s S body is petite, and offers an easy playing experience. It also affords an immediacy and intimacy to the voice that’s particularly present in this 2021 S-50. Such a unique sound. With Cocobolo and “Driftwood” Sinker Cedar on top, this one looks gorgeous as well—and these woods also help fill out the voice and add even more warmth and power to the overtones. The short, 24 3/4” scale is very easy on the hands, and adds roundness to the trebles. This Lowden is not one to let slip away; you won’t want to let go.

Add to Compare2014 Lowden F-35, Koa/Redwood
Today’s Lowden of choice is our 2014 F-35 decked out in Koa and Redwood with Maple bindings. And what a powerhouse it is! This one’s wide awake and as easy on the hands as it is on the eyes. Effortless setup for fingerstyle or flatpicking, and Lowden’s F body for added depth and projection without going full tilt jumbo—this F-35 strikes all the balances. We’ve got this one outfitted with an L.R. Baggs Lyric pickup system to carry you faithfully right onto the stage, and a Hiscox case to keep it safe in the meantime. Snag it while we’ve got it!

Add to Compare2009 Lowden O-35c, Indian Rosewood/Spruce
Now here’s a big box that knows how to fill a room! We love Lowden’s O body size for its power, but also the balance and clarity that George’s team coaxes out of the braces. This O-35c from 2009 is decked out with Indian Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top that’s opened up nicely in the intervening years—but this beauty has been very well-cared for so it’s looking pretty damn minty. Figured Maple bindings round out the understated aesthetic, plus an Abalone rosette to ring it all in.

Add to Compare2010 Lowden F-35, Flamed Mahogany/Redwood
Lowden’s F-35 is a jack of all trades that manages to be a master of all trades, too. The body design gives ample power and projection for fingerstyle play, and certainly can handle flatpicking and strumming as well. The Redwood top, here paired with Flamed Mahogany back and sides, gives the voice a unique mixture of warmth and dryness (think lush bass and crisp trebles). This beau is from 2010 and looking like a well-cared for champ—which it is. The previous owner had a K&K Pure Mini pickup installed, so this one’s ready for amplification as well.

Add to Compare2016 Lowden S-32J Jazz, Indian Rosewood/Alpine Spruce
Easy as breathing, rich as royalty! Lowden’s crossover Jazz series marries the warmth, responsiveness, and playability of nylon strings with the creature comforts enjoyed by steel strings for a box that boasts the best of both worlds. A radiused fingerboard, plus cutaway, makes for easy lefthand work, and Lowden outfits this S32J with a 14-fret neck for even more fretboard access. A Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup system carries you straight onto the stage to boot. The 32 series is done up with Alpine Spruce over Indian Rosewood back and sides, plus Maple bindings to set it off. Schaller Hauser-style tuners round out the package in gold.

Add to Compare2015 Lowden F-50c, African Blackwood/Adirondack Spruce
What a beauty. We love African Blackwood, it’s one of the best contenders with Brazilian Rosewood for king of the tonewoods, and here paired with Adirondack Spruce in Lowden’s F-50c body the result is a powerful voice that’s dynamic, colorful, and expressive. We’ve got a lovely example here from 2015 that’s already opened up handsomely, and plays so smoothly. Figured Koa bindings incorporate a Ryan-style arm bevel plus venetian cutaway, and the 5-ply Mahogany-Rosewood-Mahogany neck is carved in the GL Standard profile; just the right amount of heft for the left hand to connect with. This F-50c weighs in under five pounds and feels solid on the leg. Lowden’s team balanced the neck and body here for an easy playing experience, made apparent with the slick setup and satin finish. Please note, this Lowden now has a K&K Trinity pickup installed (photos were taken before the install, so show an empty endpin slot).

Add to Compare2016 Lowden F-50c Madagascar Rosewood/Sinker Redwood
This is one Lowden which graduated at the top of its class in 2016. What a powerhouse! George Lowden’s F model does it all, and does so exceedingly well. We love this F-50c for strumming as much as fingerstyle; it’s got plenty of warmth in the mids to match the crisp trebles, and a sweet bass response that really fills out the voice. With a 25.5” scale for added punch, this Lowden cuts right through the mix and also handles lowered tunings with ease. A natural choice for DADGAD and even other, more eccentric tunings. The body is comprised of master grade Madagascar Rosewood (so, so lovely) and master Sinker Redwood on top (hence all that warmth), and comes to us today with hardly a mark to be found. Pale Maple bindings come together with an arm bevel on the top plate and a rounded cutaway for creature comfort. GL Standard neck profile; Gotoh 510 tuners; silky satin finish throughout.

Add to Compare2016 Lowden S-50, African Blackwood/Sinker Redwood
Take up this 2016 Lowden S-50, and get ready to lose track of time. The S body features a slim, 14 3/4” lower bout for a warm and focused tone, which is further enhanced by African Blackwood back and sides (one of our favorite tonewoods) and Sinker Redwood (reclaimed from the Mendocino Valley in our own California) on top, both master grade. The GL Standard neck profile is one of our favorite setups for fingerstyle, where this S-50 really likes to live. This one draws you in; there’s a glassy quality to the trebles that’s particularly haunting, and fills out the voice.

Add to Compare2016 Lowden F-50, African Blackwood/Sinker Redwood
Lowden’s F body fits the sweet spot bill for just about everything you throw at it. Big enough to hold up under a flatpick and for strumming, small enough for intimacy and myriad tones with fingerstyle—and everything in between. This F-50 from 2016 is all that with the added warmth, color, and dynamism of African Blackwood back and sides (one of our favorite tonewoods) and Sinker Redwood on top (reclaimed from the Mendocino Valley in California), both master grade. 25.5” scale adds definition and crispness to all that warmth, and the GL Standard neck profile is a comfortable, familiar old friend. This beauty is like new and oh. so. ready for action.
