Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
This exquisite Lowden S32 is a stunning testament to premium Northern Irish craftsmanship, distilling immense projection and pristine clarity into a highly comfortable small-bodied acoustic frame. Combining a premium Sitka spruce soundboard with lush, resonant rosewood back and sides, this lightweight four-pound two-ounce concert-sized instrument sings with a brilliant, piano-like sparkle and deep harmonic overtones. The rock-solid 5-piece mahogany and rosewood neck joins seamlessly with the organic curves of the body, offering a fast and highly responsive feel perfect for intricate fingerstyle playing. Lowden's signature natural aesthetic is beautifully showcased through meticulous wood artistry, including a rich multi-wood rosette, figured sycamore binding, and complex multi-layered purflings. Fitted with gold Gotoh SG381 tuners with elegant ebony buttons and protected by its fitted hardshell case, this remarkably articulate guitar brings an inspiring, pure acoustic energy to any musical space.
From Lowden Guitars
Over the years the 32 has become more sought after especially because of its full bodied and yet very clear defined tone. The sitka spruce top help 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!
