Introducing the Lowden 35 Series F-35 Acoustic Guitar, a masterpiece crafted for the serious player who seeks an unparalleled musical experience. Prepare to enter a whole new world of subtle tone colours and dynamic range with this high-quality instrument. Every detail of the 35 Series has been meticulously designed and handcrafted with the finest AAAA grade tone woods, ensuring exceptional sound and playability.
Let's start with the aesthetics. The 35 Series guitars feature exquisite bindings made from figured Koa, carefully chosen to complement the back, sides, and top of the instrument. The purflings, found on both the sides and top, add an elegant touch to the overall design. With an abalone/ebony rosette, maple bound ebony fingerboard, bog oak front and back headstock facings, and a 1mm thick back centre seam, this guitar stands out as a work of art.
The F-35 model, with its distinctive flatpicking shape, was initially introduced in 1982 and redesigned in 2003. This smaller soundbox shape offers enhanced projection and midrange response, making it the perfect choice for flatpickers. However, it has also found favour amongst fingerstyle players, blues guitarists, and musicians from various genres. The soundbox geometry and bracing are carefully voiced to provide a balanced bias, favouring neither treble nor bass, resulting in a harmonically rich and versatile instrument.
Now, let's delve into the choice of tonewoods. The F-35 boasts AAAA Madagascar Rosewood for its back and sides, renowned for its exceptional tonal properties, contributing to a warm, resonant sound. The AAAA Adirondack soundboard complements the rosewood, delivering incredible responsiveness and a wide dynamic range. The neck, a combination of 5-piece mahogany and rosewood, offers stability, durability, and excellent transfer of vibrations.
The ebony fingerboard, adorned with maple bindings, provides a smooth and comfortable playing surface, allowing your fingers to effortlessly glide across the frets. The GL standard neck profile, measuring 45mm at the nut and extending to 57mm at the 14th fret, ensures optimal playability and facilitates intricate fingerstyle techniques.
The attention to detail extends to the custom options available on the F-35, such as the coveted soundbox bevel. Initially introduced on the Pierre Bensusan signature model, this curved piece of wood, forming part of the binding on the upper bout, enhances playing comfort by providing a resting place for your arm. It's no wonder this option has become one of Lowden's most popular features.
To complete this exceptional instrument, the F-35 is equipped with Gotoh Gold 510 tuners with ebony buttons, ensuring precise tuning stability and a touch of elegance. It comes fitted with Lowden Light Gauge 12-53 strings, perfectly balanced to bring out the guitar's full potential.
In summary, the Lowden 35 Series F-35 Acoustic Guitar is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Lowden guitars. From its meticulously selected AAAA grade tone woods to its refined design details, every element has been carefully considered to provide an unparalleled playing experience. Whether you're a flatpicker, fingerstyle player, or blues enthusiast, the F-35 will inspire you with its rich tonal palette, impeccable construction, and unmatched versatility.
