The 38 Series is the top of the stock line from Lowden Guitars. This beauty from 1997 features the small body S shape favored by so many players for it’s small size but big tone. This one has beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with a mature Spruce top and elegant abalone trim including half moon fret marks set just below the low E string. This guitar works perfectly for Standard and DADGAD and for traditional as well as Celtic styles. A versatile little beast from George Lowden.

I love the Lowden S shape for it's easy to hold shape that still offers up power and versatility. You can play absolutely anything on this little beast. From blues to Celtic in standard and low tunings this one responds wonderfully. This is one of those really special Lowdens. I absolutely love the Patina on the top and how the mature lacquer glows over the abalone trim. A sweetheart...
I like the way this guitar has aged. It wears a beautiful patina on its spruce top and the sound is nicely aged as well. Clear and rich with bell-like notes.
