Lowden O-35 | Cedar - Figured Walnut - Used

The 35 Series by Lowden is a testament to uncompromising quality and devotion to the craft. Each guitar in this series is meticulously handcrafted using the finest tone woods, setting a new standard for excellence. The O-35 model, with its distinctive O shape, represents the purest expression of Lowden's vision, a design that has remained unaltered since its inception in 1976.

Crafted from exquisite Walnut, a wood personally celebrated by the master luthier George Lowden for its exceptional clarity and definition, the back and sides of this guitar offer not just sonic excellence but also an unparalleled aesthetic. The fact that this walnut is figured adds an element of stunning beauty that perfectly complements its exceptional tonal qualities.The soundboard is made from Cedar, renowned for its warm and responsive qualities. The neck, a masterpiece of engineering, combines Mahogany, Rosewood, and Walnut, ensuring stability, playability, and a tonal palette that's second to none.

The O-35's unique soundbox geometry and carefully voiced bracing enhance treble response, striking a harmonious balance with the naturally bass-heavy characteristics of a large-bodied guitar. This results in a sonic marvel that captures every nuance of your playing, from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming.

Aesthetic sophistication is another hallmark of the 35 Series. Figured Sycamore bindings grace the body, harmonising beautifully with the back, sides, and top. Purflings made of Sycamore, Rosewood, and Mahogany adorn both the sides and top, showcasing an exquisite attention to detail. The bound abalone rosette adds a touch of elegance, while the bound ebony fingerboard and bog oak front and back headstock facings contribute to the guitar's visual allure.

But it's not just about looks; it's about performance. The O-35 boasts Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with Ebony buttons, ensuring impeccable tuning stability and precision.

In terms of playability, the GL standard neck profile offers a comfortable and familiar feel, measuring 45mm at the nut and extending to 57mm at the 14th fret. With a scale length of 650mm, it's a player's dream, allowing effortless access to every note on the fretboard.

In conclusion, the Lowden O-35 is not merely an instrument; it's a masterpiece of artistry and engineering. It's your gateway to a world of tonal colours, dynamic range, and unmatched playability. Experience the pinnacle of acoustic guitar excellence.
