Northern Ireland’s Lowden Guitars is known for the woodsy, organic look and feel of its guitars, and rich overtones that are favored by many fingerstylists. The midsize body is comfortable to play, and the guitar produces a sound with a warm midrange that works well for flatpicking and fingerpicking. Like other guitars of this 40th anniversary series, this guitar comes with a photo book detailing its build process, from George Lowden selecting the wood to the completed instrument, and features a special label and inlay.
