Celebrating Five Decades of Craftsmanship: The Lowden 50th Anniversary Collection F-35 | Indian Rosewood - Lutz Spruce

In 1974, George Lowden set out to create guitars that would be cherished by musicians for generations. Fifty years later, Lowden Guitars has become synonymous with exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless beauty. To commemorate this milestone, Lowden has unveiled the 50th Anniversary Collection, featuring a limited selection of 150 exclusive guitars from the Master Series, 50, 35, and Original Series. Amongst these, the F-35 model emerges as a highlight, representing the pinnacle of Lowden's dedication to excellence.

The F model, which debuted in 1982 and was redesigned in 2003, is celebrated for its versatility. The smaller soundbox shape of the F-35 provides enhanced projection and midrange response, making it an ideal choice for flatpickers. Its balanced soundbox geometry and bracing ensure a flat tonal bias, offering a harmonious blend of treble and bass that appeals to a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to blues.

  • Back and Sides: The F-35 is crafted from AAAA East Indian Rosewood, a wood revered for its rich tonal qualities and stunning visual appeal. This wood provides a deep, resonant sound with clear articulation, making it a favourite amongst guitarists who seek both beauty and performance.
  • Soundboard: The top of the F-35 features AAAA Lutz Spruce, known for its robust and dynamic tonal properties. Lutz Spruce combines the best characteristics of Sitka and White Spruce, offering a powerful yet balanced sound that enhances the guitar's overall tonal spectrum.

The neck of the F-35 is constructed from a 5-piece combination of mahogany and rosewood, ensuring durability and enhanced tonal transfer. The ebony fingerboard, complemented by maple bindings, provides a smooth and responsive playing surface. The GL standard neck profile, measuring 45mm at the nut and 57mm at the 14th fret, is designed for optimal comfort and playability.

Additional Features:

  • Binding and Purflings: The guitar is elegantly adorned with figured maple binding and purflings made from mahogany, rocklite, and maple, adding a touch of sophistication to its design.
  • Custom Options: This special edition includes the 50th Anniversary Inlay Package, a unique feature that commemorates this significant milestone in Lowden's history.
  • Hardware: The F-35 is equipped with Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with ebony buttons, ensuring precise tuning and a luxurious aesthetic.

The guitar is strung with Lowden Light Gauge 12-53 strings, providing a balanced tension that enhances playability and sound quality.

A Limited Edition to Treasure

The 50th Anniversary F-35 model is more than a guitar; it is a celebration of Lowden's legacy and a tribute to the artisans who have dedicated their skills to crafting these exquisite instruments. Each guitar in this collection features a special limited edition label, a mother of pearl Lowden logo, a front of headstock 50th inlay, and a 1974 inlay on the heel cap. This 35 model also boast a 1974 logo in abalone on the back head facing, which not all models do.

With only a limited number available, this guitar is not just an instrument but a collector's dream, embodying the passion and dedication that has driven Lowden for half a century.

George Lowden's Reflection

Reflecting on this remarkable journey, George Lowden shares, "When I began making guitars under the Lowden name 50 years ago, I could have never imagined that my guitars would go on to be played by some of the best-loved guitarists across genres. I have been blessed to work with iconic musicians over the years to create guitars that inspire them to make music. From up-and-coming guitarists learning their first chords on Lowden guitars to seeing our instruments being played to sold-out audiences of record-breaking sizes, we owe all of Lowden's success over the years to our players who have grown to be more than customers but inspirations, collaborators, supporters and very much part of the Lowden family."

As one of only two UK retailers selected to offer this exclusive collection, Peach Guitars is proud to present the Lowden 50th Anniversary Collection F-35. This guitar, a symbol of excellence and tradition, is a fitting tribute to George Lowden's enduring legacy and a promise of many more years of exceptional guitar making.
