The WL-35 FF belongs to the prestigious 35 Series, designed for serious musicians who seek a new realm of tonal expression and dynamic range. Each guitar in this series is meticulously handcrafted with the finest AAAA grade tone woods, ensuring unparalleled sound and playability.

One look at the WL-35 FF, and you'll be captivated by its exquisite aesthetic appointments. The Figured Maple bindings are expertly chosen to complement the stunning back and sides as well as the top. Moreover, the purflings adorn not only the top but also the sides, accentuating the guitar's overall beauty. The abalone/ebony rosette adds a touch of elegance, while the maple bound ebony fingerboard showcases the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of this instrument.

Not only is the WL-35 FF visually striking, but it also boasts remarkable features that elevate its performance. The bog oak front and back headstock facings exude sophistication and contribute to the guitar's exceptional resonance. Furthermore, the 1mm thick back centre seam enhances its structural integrity and tonal integrity.

One of the most remarkable features of the WL-35 FF is its Fan Fret design, specifically developed by George Lowden himself. This design marries the comfort of a small body guitar with the tonal advantages of a Fan Fret, resulting in an instrument that offers enhanced bass response, improved upper fret access, and a uniquely captivating tonal character. Each string on the WL-35 FF has a different scale length, progressively increasing towards the bass side. This design, coupled with the angled frets, ensures excellent tuning stability while delivering a bigger, more open sound.

The Wee Lowden Fan Fret shape further exemplifies Lowden's dedication to innovation and tonal perfection. Crafted to be as compact as possible without compromising its rich and resonant tone, the Wee Lowden offers remarkable playability and delivers an impressive bass response, a feat often challenging for smaller-sized guitars.

The tonewoods chosen for the WL-35 FF are of the highest quality. The AAAA East Indian Rosewood back and sides provide a balanced and full-bodied sound with rich harmonics and excellent projection. The AAAA Sinker Redwood soundboard offers exceptional responsiveness, sensitivity, and warmth, making each note come alive with clarity and depth.

The WL-35 FF features a 5-piece mahogany/rosewood neck, known as the GL standard, which offers superb stability and a comfortable playing experience. The ebony fingerboard with maple binding not only enhances the guitar's visual appeal but also ensures smooth fretting and precise intonation.

With a scale length of 650mm on the bass strings and 610mm on the treble strings, the WL-35 FF delivers optimal string tension and balance, allowing for effortless playing across the entire fretboard. The Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with ebony buttons provide reliable and precise tuning, ensuring that every performance is flawless.
