What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good. Top Seam Repaired and Cleated Previous to Us

If you didn't believe in the power of brazilian rosewood and cedar before this guitar, you will now! The tone is full bodied and warm without sacrificing clarity and the projection is atypical of a single O model. Making use of that splendid tone is made even easier by the venetian cutaway and comfortably familiar 1 3/4" nut width. To top it all off they've adorned it with plenty of tasteful appointments to ensure it'll be love at first sight every time you pick it up. Call in today to talk to one of our sales specialists before this incredible O-38c makes its way out the door!

Manufacturer's Description from Lowden

Over the years the 32 has become more sought after especially because of its full bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The cedar top helps to balance the rosewood’s warm fullness. The O version is warm, full and clear, the F is the same but with a more focused projection making it ideal for flat-picking and fingerstyle. The S version has been a bit of a surprise in that it has a large body sound in a concert sized instrument!
