We have met George Lowden about forty years ago and feel privileged to have become his friends and his oldest retailer still in activity. Established in the Belfast area, in Northern Ireland, George has in the mid seventies revolutionized the folk fingerstyle guitar by launching a steel-strings design whith projection and dynamices usually featured on a top professional classical concert instrument, with incredible sustain and volume as a bonus track! Right at the opposite of compressed American siblings of that era that performed at their best when heavily flatpicked. Lowden has immediately gathered up talented followers and continues ever since. The all natural global woody aspect, the wood bindings instead of plastic, the satin finsish, the twin saddle bridge were inovative features that have been copied many a time without capturing the magical sound of the original design.

This guitar is one of George's first designs. With its spruce top, it delivers a rich, bright, clear and powerful sound. Its tone is defined and shimmering, and it excels in percussive rhythms and more intimate arpeggios. Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, it will fit into any mix. Its versatility will allow it to adapt to all situations, whether in the studio, on small or large stages. The build quality and components are obviously impeccable, and the playing comfort is impressive. This is Lowden, after all...
