    Category: Product Condition: Brand New

    Our price:

    This brilliant Lowden F50c is build with mastergrade Brazilian Rosewood and rare driftwood Red Cedar top. A Brazilian Lowden is the crème de la crème tone machine one can have build by the Lowden team. She comes with a comfortable soundbox bevel and a cutaway for easy access to the oh so sweet notes all over the fretboard!

    This Lowden F50c Brazilian Rosewood – Dark Cedar is build with mastergrade tonewoods. The Brazilian Rosewood is very dark-colored and straight figured wood with nice clear stripes. George Lowden only chooses the best quality of Brazilian Rosewood. The complexity of the tone, the overtones and clarity hit you immediately! Weight and stiffness make the guitar light and instant responder to light finger touch, including unbelievably good three-dimensional sound qualities. Superb clarity of the treble notes. After you hit the bass strings and move up to the trebles, you are taken by the fullness of the notes.

    The extremely rare striped Driftwood Red Cedar top give her that extra distinctive and classy look. This old-growth Cedar or ‘Thuja Plicata’ as the native Californians call this wood, brings an open and instantly mature warm tone to the table. This wood has been drenched in mineral rich water and mud for a very long time, it not only offers a unique variety of colors but also a tad more overtones to the classic warm Cedar tone. Combined with the pretty Brazilian set selected by George she  gives you an instrument that excels in almost any style. Brilliant guitar!
