This sweet-sounding, mid-sized guitar combines George Lowdens trademark string balance and separation with a surprising warmth and beautiful, focussed-clarity. Its understated appearance showcases the use of fine timber - in this case a lovely, stripey Claro and a soft, even Triple A cedar soundboard. Internally, the top bracing bears Lowdens new Dolphin profile and is hand-carved and voiced making this a beautifully- responsive instrument with excellent balance.
