Heartbreaker Guitars get all the top of the range Lowdens that never appear in U.K. stores and this is no exception. Shipping within the US only for this unique instrument

I'd love to see a folky buy it. 

No matter what GL wants, I'd presume that guitar is destined to sit in a case. I wonder what it sounds like.

I was just about to comment "yep, looks like an acoustic guitar," until I saw the back!! Crikey!

AliGorie

Hmm, ok, if u must.
for collectors -
GL's own built guitars start @ 18k IIRC
Controversial 'evolution' theory going on there - at least for some in the States.

It's for sale in a shop in Las Vegas ...

Looks OK from the front, but the inlays on the back are somewhat OTT. I note they avoid showing the lowermost circle's contents in the magnified view!!

No. 

You'll find it's $54,995.  The $5 makes a huge difference...

Would this be good for playing Wonderwall on?

Probably the person that buys it can only play Wonderwall

Did you plan the wedding before or was it the unexpected incident of a drunken Vegas night?

To be honest when they guy called me in England and said we were married I was a *bit* surprised...

Nah, it was planned. Made a trip of it  Vegas -> Hawaii -> San Fran

So take it from someone tacky enough to PLAN to get married in Vegas, that this guitar is a bit tacky lol

Is this the most expensive 'new' acoustic you can buy? Not that I'm interested in it, the name puts me off straight away, I'm a staunch atheist.

CHRISB50

Nah, I reckon there's some luthiers in the US that could do you something more expensive should you so wish.
