“The 50 Series is where the Lowden team explore the limits of tonal and aesthetic refinement, using exclusively Master Grade tone-woods. Designed for players who value uncompromising quality, this series offers an exceptional level of customisation. The goal is simple: to create an instrument that exemplifies the finest craftsmanship the Lowden Team can achieve.”
“African Blackwood boasts greater stiffness, hardness, and density than Brazilian Rosewood. As Brazilian Rosewood becomes increasingly scarce, African Blackwood is widely recognized as a true alternative. Its deep, chocolate-like hues and intricate grain patterns deliver exceptional tonal clarity, powerful projection, and rich resonance. As one of the few builders pioneering its use, Lowden makes this tonewood a signature choice.”
This 2020 Lowden O-50 was a custom order direct from Lowden pairing up African Blackwood back and sides with an Alpine Spruce top, with Koa bindings and bevel/armrest detail. Looks stunning with its satin finish. The GL Standard profile, 5-piece Mahogany/Rosewood neck has and Ebony fretboard with Maple bindings – 650mm scale length – topped off with Gotoh Cosmo tuners with Ebony buttons. The whole combination looks striking and has a huge sound. The guitar is in mint condition and has clearly not been played much – comes with its original Lowden hard case and Lowden goodies – to order this guitar, in this configuration, new from Lowden is now £9,410 so this is a great saving against that new price.
