WAYS TO PAY:
This stunning instrument is not just the result of world-class manufacturing, but also the direct involvement of our company director, who personally hand-picked the exceptional woods during a visit to Lowden's workshop. This unique opportunity came about through our long-standing relationship with Lowden, allowing us to offer something truly special that you won't find elsewhere. If you've been dreaming of owning a Master Grade Maple Lowden guitar, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lowden's 50 Series is renowned as their Custom Shop line, where only the most exceptional tonewoods and materials are used. The wood selection process is meticulous, with each piece of Master Grade wood re-graded several times until only the very finest make the cut. These rare, premium woods are chosen not only for their visual beauty but also for their superior tonal qualities. In the case of this O-50, the Master Grade Maple back and sides offer a unique combination of brightness, clarity, and balanced response, making it perfect for players who want a guitar with sparkling highs and punchy mids. Not to mention how incredible it looks - just wow. Whether you're playing fingerstyle or flatpicking, this guitar delivers articulate sound across the spectrum with unmatched projection.
Paired with this extraordinary maple is a Master Grade Lutz Spruce soundboard, which brings out the best in the guitar's tonal range. Lutz spruce, known for its rich, powerful tone, combines the best characteristics of Sitka and White spruce, making it ideal for players who need dynamic response and depth of sound. The guitar's size, based on Lowden's O model (The Original), was designed by George Lowden in 1976. This large-bodied shape delivers an expansive sound that’s often likened to a Jumbo, but with a distinct Lowden voice. Its bracing is specially designed to enhance treble response, balancing out the naturally bass-heavy sound of large-bodied guitars. The result is a guitar that sings with clarity, power, and balance, perfect for solo performances or ensemble settings.
Visually, the O-50 is a work of art. From the highly figured wood bindings to the intricate purflings on the top, back, and sides, every detail is crafted with precision and care. The seven-piece hand-inlaid back seam and the stunning abalone and figured wood rosette further elevate the guitar's aesthetic appeal. The extended ebony fingerboard with maple bindings adds a touch of elegance, while the soundbox bevel, a custom feature introduced on the Pierre Bensusan signature model, ensures comfort by allowing your arm to rest naturally on the upper bout. This bevel is not only functional but enhances the guitar's overall beauty.
Lowden's GL standard neck profile, combined with the 650mm scale length, ensures that the guitar is as comfortable to play as it is to admire. The five-piece mahogany/rosewood neck offers incredible stability, while the Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with ebony buttons provide precise and reliable tuning.
