What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good (small ding in top, pictured)

An absolute treasure of an instrument! There are many great nylon crossovers out there but this specific model is one of the best we've seen in a good while. The precision and delicacy of response alone suggests an instrument going for twice the rate. It's a welcome relief to hear a bonafide amplified response as well--it can be hard to reach a balanced, complex nylon tone with any instrument/amp combination.

Manufacturer's Description from Lowden

I designed the Jazz series with nylon strings and an internal pick up fitted as standard so that it would feel very comfortable for classical and steel string players alike. The neck has enough width to facilitate the nylon strings but at the same time the cambered fingerboard allows for a wide variety of playing styles. Voiced for a really great acoustic response, and at the same time stiff enough for loud volume to be possible without the whole guitar over-reacting when played loud through a sound system. The tone is very natural and full with none of the over bright tones sometimes found on too lightly built classicals. I re-designed these models in 2003 to improve the acoustic voice. The Jazz is also fitted with a Fishmann Matrix Infinity pickup as standard.
