Lowden O32
Sitka Spruce / East Indian Rosewood |
£1,889.00 |
"The thing about the O is that it has great volume and power but is also
capable of great subtlety. You can play it quite hard ( although some
players find they achieve best results from restraining themselves just a
tad!) and yet you can touch it gently and it still sings. In contrast to
other full size guitars, the tops when played (say up around the 12th to
16th fret areas) are still very rich and full."
George Lowden
Someone once said to me, while trying a Lowden, that it sounds like a
whole orchestra. This could be the guitar he was referring to - it's the
kind of guitar that brings out all the old clichés, it has a vibrant bass
and chiming trebles, yet somehow remains well balanced. It's simply
stunning."The Original series Lowden guitar features a large soundbox having a very
distinctive outline with a comfortable 45mm/1 3/4 neck.
The lightweight
body, achieved by using split woods, combined with the unique Lowden
construction methods, result in an instrument with immense power yet
surprising sensitivity. A precisely balanced sound is achieved by voicing
the bracing pattern to discipline the naturally deep basses and full trebles
of this large bodied guitar. This original Lowden has featured the A frame
bracing innovation since the early days of it's development over 20 years
ago." - Lowden Guitars
