Description

Stunning Lowden GL-J Electric with a flamed Maple top and neck combined with a Mahogany body. Well-balanced, smooth playing and outstanding craftsmanship!

The GL Electric Series originally came about when George Lowden was asked by Ed Sheeran to design an electric guitar for Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody. The result was the Lowden GL-10, combining the finest natural wood finishes with the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail associated with every Lowden Guitar. But there was more in his head. When George was a teenager his dream guitar was a 335, mainly because fo the guitar sound from tracks like ‘white room’ and ‘politician! After the succes of the first Lowden Electric he had the idea of designing a double cutaway semi hollow electric but not too big and, most importantly, made with a solid wood carved top plate rather than the more standard laminated designs found on other guitars. And so after a trip away to do the design work the GL-J was born.

Lighter in weight than the GL-10 due to the semi-hollow design, this model is more comfortable during long gigs. The neck contour and frets are like the GL-10 and therefore has the same fast and smooth feel. Then of course there’s “that sound” – difficult to define in words but for sure it can only be the result of the semi hollow design using a solid carved wood top plate! This one has a beautiful flamed Maple face, gold hardware and two Lollar Imperial humbucker pickups. She has wonderul contours which make her lovely to play and beautiful to look at. The neck is instantly familiar to Lowden players. This is a great addition to the Lowden line!
