    I have re-introduced the 22 model, having fond memories of it. First designed in 1976/7 it was sweet and clear - deep and resonant, not at all heavy or muddy even though the O is a jumbo size guitar. Great for strumming and picking alike. Check out Acoustic Guitar Magazine's video review of the O22... Mahogany Back and SidesCedar SoundboardRosette: Rosewood, sycamore, walnut, mahoganyBinding: MaplePurfling: Sycamore, Rosewood, mahoganyTuners: Gotoh Gold/Ebony 503Bridge: RosewoodNeck: 5 piece Mahogany/Maple "Over the years the 32 has become more sought after especially because of its full bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The sitka spruce top help to balance the rosewood’s warm fullness. The O version is warm, full and clear, the F is the same but with a more focused projection making it ideal for flat-picking and fingerstyle. The S version has been a bit of a surprise in that it has a large body sound in a concert sized instrument! and so I included it in this year’s collection." - George Lowden 5 piece neck with ebony bound fingerboardGotoh 503 machineheadsBone top nut and saddleAll solid AAA grade tonewoodsAll wood bindings and purflings and rosetteSplit two piece saddle for accurate tuning

    The Original Series

    George designed The Original Series in 1976, and although the medium sized F and concert sized S have been added to the range since then, the Lowden standard of a passionate commitment to no compromise, had been well and truly set.

    George Lowden Guitars Ltd 34 Down Business Park, Downpatrick BT30 9UP Northern Ireland tel: +44 (0)28 4461 9161 fax: +44 (0)28 4461 7043 Sales: r.drain@georgelowden.com

    It is the complete package of tiny precise details which makes the Lowden guitar so different and so highly prized. Compromise on any one of these and what results is not a Lowden.
