Sold Lowden 010. Cedar and Mahogany. 2001. Hiscox case.
What's Hot
Sold
A big and beautiful acoustic from 2001/2, hand made in Ireland. Sweet sounding lovely bottom end, loves alternative tunings. Low action and frets are excellent, the body does have small marks and dings but nothing horrible (see pics).
There is also a small patch on the back where something looks to have spilled on it and has run down the body, I have tried polishing it out to no avail but don't want to use anything too harsh on it.
I have owned a few hand made Irish guitars and they are easy to mark, part of the reason they are so resonant and tonefull, no heavy coatings used. Original Hiscox branded case.
Mahogany neck with walnut inserts and unbound ebony fingerboard. Rosewood head plate with Lowden inlay. mahogany back and sides, cedar top, with maple binding. Lowden branded tuners, bone nut and saddle, KK Pure piezo pickup to endpin jack, no tone or volume controls on guitar itself..
There is something magical about Lowden guitars, a sort of mesmerizing sound and very distinctively Irish.

It is a fine instrument, I wish I could keep both
And Paul is a top man to deal with.
