Sound Pure's Take

One for the players!  If tone is at the top of your list, this 0-25 should be, too.  This guitar has been played and played and is only ready for more.  A perfect example of how guitars don't really sound like themselves until they've been given a chance--the powerful, complex, waves of tone that emanate from this instrument make some guitars sound gagged by comparison.  Don't let that wear on the top scare you!  Our luthier spent plenty of time stabilizing all those areas (in addition to ensuring the setup is feeling and sounding great, of course) to prevent any chipping, flaking, etc, leaving you with nothing but truly broken-in, opened up, Lowden tone.

Condition: Used, Good (significant play wear in top, chip in binding on lower bout)

From Lowden Guitars

The Original Series was the very first Lowden range from 1976, just as the ‘O’ model is George’s original Lowden body design. Although the medium sized ‘F’ and concert sized ‘S’ have been added to the range since then, the Lowden standard of passionate commitment to no compromise was well and truly set.
