Manufacturer's Description from Lowden

George Lowden began building guitars over 45 years ago. His use of the finest tonewoods, proprietary build techniques, and relentless pursuit of perfection has seen our guitars become beloved, played and collected the world over.

July 2021 sees George turn 70 and to mark the milestone, we are releasing a collection of special guitars, limited to just 70 pieces worldwide. This exclusive selection consists of models from across the Lowden range, including the 35 and 50 series along with a carefully selected range of Signature and Specialty collection guitars.

Each guitar will feature a bespoke commemorative internal label, numbered and signed personally by George, unique accompanying provenance documentation, and a soundbox bevel*. Additionally, each guitar will feature a custom LXX (Roman numerals for 70) inlay at the 12th fret designed by inlay specialists, Pearl Works.
