Original Series
Indian Rosewood

For years I have been thinking of developing a light weight “bolt on” design neck joint - one that would achieve a really solid joint but not disturb the natural balance of the instrument.
I have also reduced the neck stiffness slightly by using a 3 piece design which also allows a little more transference of the necks natural vibration.
The results are two completely new models which still very much have that characteristic Lowden tone which now seems a little more versatile between different playing styles from bluegrass to fingerpicking to celtic strumming.

In 2004 George decided that a series of guitars similar to the original series but with a couple of upgrades would be great to offer to the players who wanted the best tuners you can get on the one hand, but also had a little more detailing in the appointments in general. So the 35 series was born.

The Lowden Jazz is fitted with an board pickup as standard. The soundbox is voiced for a really great acoustic response, and at the same time stiff enough to prevent the whole guitar from overreacting when played loud through a sound system.
