Lowden’s midsize S body, here in Claro Walnut and Cedar, offers the right amount of warmth for a fingerstyle approach but not at the cost of projection and bark for flatpicking. In fact, we found this 2015 40th Anniversary S-35 to respond beautifully to picks. You don’t find that every day in a smaller guitar, but this Lowden manages to defy expectations left and right.
Number four in Lowden’s limited 40th Anniversary line, this S-35 commemorates George Lowden’s journey in lutherie over four decades, and bears that designation on both the label and the backstrap. The box is bound in Maple, 1 3/4” bone nut, split saddles, and the whole operation weighs in just under four pounds.
This Lowden S-35 more than fits the bill if you need a smaller guitar with lots of punch and breezy playability.
