Everything you’ve come to expect from world class luthier George Lowden, but with a few changes in the build that make this guitar surprisingly affordable! George spent a couple years developing a bolt on neck. This guitar is built with a three piece neck, compared with the usual 5 piece Lowden neck.
Here’s what George Lowden says about it:
“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.”
