I currently have covid and the offer of buy now pay next year interest free was just too much, so after a fair bit of research I got a dowina,
I didn't know anything about Dowina, I had seen one to two about and just assumed they were another far eastetn brand, until I saw a used vintage series which looked great ( guitar guitar) after some research and seeing the reviews and build quality from other players online I thought I would give it a go. These are all made my hand, all solids woods in Slovakia.
The attention to detail is akin to any of my 2k guitars
Impressions:How is this made for around 1k it honestly beggars belief, the feel playability and tone are better than some of the high end guitars I have owned.This is definately a keeper.
Nice little touches like the makers signature on one brace and the tap tuned tops note on the other,
Yes I am saying this in the honeymoon period how'ver my relationship with the guitar has changed over the last few years, I don't dream of the one or spend hours researching any more, what now gets me excited is how it will compliment me as a guitarist, and I can say with no bias this dowina has the tone and playability of a 2k guitar, if anyone wants a sound clip just say and I'll pop one up

what I will say tho is : I would consider a total bargain this really is Lowden quality, that's not some silly throw away remark, I have been an acoustic player for 20 years, and the tone is really somethig special,
I do wonder if Gibson are aware of the use of the copyrighted open book headstock design though?
Maybe Gibson have done what they stated a couple of years ago & moved “from confrontation to collaboration” with other builders & are collaborating with those who are doing really cool things?
However, the headstock design overall is sufficiently divergent from Gibson's to avoid copyright issues.
wow !! that is a lot of box for 700 sovs
