Description
Roadhouse USA:
2016 Lowden O-32 Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood W/Hiscox Case & DiMarzio Black Angel Pickup.
Hand made in Ireland, George Lowden’s guitars are among the best acoustics in the world.
Nearly flawless, I can find a mark on it. This guitar was obviously purchased and stored away without being played much, if at all.
Awesome tone, if you haven’t played a Lowden, you need to. They are incredible.
Has a DiMarzio Black Angel under saddle pickup professionally installed.
Comes as pictured with original Hiscox hard case.
From Lowden:
The Original Series was the very first Lowden range from 1976, and the ‘O’ model is George’s original Lowden body design. The O-32 features a Sitka Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides.
Over the years the 32 has become more sought after especially because of its full bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The Sitka spruce top help to balance the Rosewood’s warm fullness. The O body size is a large jumbo with a 16 17/32″ lower bout and 5″ body depth. The Sitka Spruce and East Indian Rosewood wood combination is warm, full and clear.
Handmade by George Lowden and co. in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, his guitars have a timeless organic folk appeal. The O-32 has a satin finish (as all of his guitars) and all wood bindings, marquetry and purflings
“Over the years the 32 has become more sought after especially because of its full bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The sitka spruce top help to balance the rosewood’s warm fullness. The O version is warm, full and clear, the F is the same but with a more focused projection making it ideal for flat-picking and fingerstyle. The S version has been a bit of a surprise in that it has a large body sound in a concert sized instrument!”-George Lowden
