Introducing the Alex De Grassi model, a crowning jewel in the esteemed Lowden Signature Collection, meticulously crafted to honour the decades-long collaboration between the legendary luthier George Lowden and the Grammy-nominated virtuoso, Alex De Grassi.
This guitar stands as a testament to the bond forged over the years, embodying Alex's musical journey with Lowden since the early eighties. The Alex De Grassi model, with its distinctive F (Flatpicking) Cutaway shape, showcases the perfect blend of form and function. The smaller soundbox, redesigned in 2003, delivers unparalleled projection and midrange response, catering not only to flatpickers but also capturing the hearts of fingerstyle players and blues guitarists.
Crafted from the finest materials, the back and sides boast exquisite AAAA Quilted Maple, while the soundboard features AAAA Sitka Spruce - a marriage of tonewoods that brings acoustic perfection. The 5-piece Maple neck, adorned with Indian Rosewood, not only provides structural stability but also a visual aesthetic that resonates with the guitar's musical prowess.
The neck profile, known as the GL Custom, is a testament to Lowden's commitment to player comfort. Measuring 46mm at the nut and extending to 57.5mm at the 14th fret, this neck ensures a sublime playing experience. The fingerboard, crafted from Ebony with Pau Ferro bindings, complements the guitar's tonal complexity, offering a rich and resonant platform for your musical expressions.
Enhancing the instrument's allure are the meticulously designed details - from Indian Rosewood binding to Sycamore-Rosewood-Mahogany purflings, every element is a nod to the uncompromising quality that defines Lowden. The Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with Ebony buttons add a touch of elegance, ensuring precise tuning stability for the most discerning musicians.
But what truly sets the Alex De Grassi model apart is its voice. George Lowden himself describes it as having a full, round, 'jazz-like' tone, yet with more sustain, clarity, and sensitivity than an archtop guitar. This instrument resonates with the warmth and depth of Alex's musical expression, capturing the essence of his fingerstyle prowess.
In every strum, pluck, and chord, the Alex De Grassi model echoes the decades of collaboration, passion, and craftsmanship that define Lowden guitars.
