Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A portion of the frets were not level with each other requiring them to be leveled, recrowned, and polished into near mint condition. The frets as they arrived were deemed to need only a minor cleanup. A polish was performed on the frets and fingerboard bringing the fretboard to pristine condition! The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.

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.

 

From Lowden Guitars

The Lowden 25 has long been regarded as the Lowden, and while the expanded range of models today makes it hard to choose just one standout, the 25 still carries an unmatched character.
Rich, full-bodied, warm, and powerful, it’s a guitar that commands attention. In the "O" version, it offers a complex, dynamic tone.
The 25 is a versatile choice for a wide range of playing styles.
Our largest guitar, the O (Original) is the body shape first designed by George back in 1974.
Created for those seeking complexity and richness of tone, the O excels in open and alternative tunings. With its piano-like sustain, the O maintains a well-balanced response across all registers, offering clarity and projection for players who demand presence.
