Are there different neck profiles? I'm presuming so, but does anyone who has tried a few have an opinion?
I liked the chunkiness of my R8, but the bastard thing gave me RSI (well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ). I've never had that issue with slimmer necks.
I quite like the idea of one of these, but need to get round to trying one out.

It's been a few years since I've played one but I don't recall the necks being hugely thick. Think the thickest neck I've played was a reissue LP (dunno what sort, gold top one) that had a neck like a tree trunk, and the lowden necks are nowhere near that chunky. As I said though, been at least 6 years since I played one, so take with a lorry load of salt.
I think once you try one out you will be hooked. I still regret not buying one when I had the chance (I'm even thinking of taking a job for a few months to save up the cash for one!!!).

There don't seem to be as many S's available compared O's and F's. I don't think I've ever actually seen an S actually (I'm left handed though).
I was speaking to Guitar Guitar about Lowdens a couple of weeks ago and they were saying that demand tends to outstrip supply.

Lowden designed his instruments from the ground up. They do not sound like American acoustics.
