Introducing the Lowden Original Series S-22 12 Fret Acoustic Guitar! This magnificent instrument combines the rich heritage of Lowden craftsmanship with a touch of nostalgia, as it brings back the beloved 22 model from the company's early years. With its exceptional quality and unparalleled tonal characteristics, the S-22 12 Fret is truly a masterpiece that every discerning guitarist deserves.
The Original Series is the pinnacle of Lowden's expertise, featuring meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to uncompromising standards. Unlike the 35 and 50 series, each Original Series model has its own unique two-number designation, signifying its individuality within the lineup. The 22, in particular, holds a special place in George Lowden's heart, as it represents his original body design that started it all.
Crafted with an elegant simplicity, the Original Series boasts understated aesthetic appointments that enhance its natural beauty. From the seven-piece wood rosette to the single-piece binding and three-piece purfling on the top, every aspect exudes timeless elegance. The rosewood front-head facing and ebony fingerboard add a touch of luxury, further elevating the guitar's visual appeal.
The S-22 12 Fret model is a testament to Lowden's dedication to innovation and reinvention. Based on the popular S size body, this guitar takes tonal versatility to new heights. By relocating the bridge and uniquely voicing the soundbox, Lowden has achieved a remarkable balance between a compact feel and the projection and vibrancy typically found in larger-bodied guitars. The midrange punch is enhanced, creating a sound that is both sweet and clear, deep and resonant.
The S model itself is a marvel in guitar design. Originally crafted for Nick Webb of Acoustic Alchemy, it defies expectations with its exceptional volume, bass response, and sustain. Typically, smaller guitars suffer from limited volume and a boxy sound, but the S breaks through these barriers to deliver a powerful and inspiring playing experience. Its bracing is meticulously optimised to bias towards the bass, resulting in a rich, full-bodied sound that belies its compact size.
Every component of the S-22 12 Fret is carefully selected to ensure the utmost quality and performance. The mahogany back and sides contribute to its warm and balanced tonal character, while the red cedar soundboard adds depth and complexity to the instrument's voice. The 5-piece mahogany and rosewood neck, along with the ebony fingerboard, offer exceptional playability and stability, allowing your fingers to effortlessly explore the instrument's sonic possibilities.
The GL standard neck profile, with its comfortable dimensions, ensures a smooth and natural playing experience. Measuring 45mm at the nut and extending to 57mm at the 14th fret, it strikes the perfect balance between ease of fretting and optimal string spacing. The scale length of 630mm maintains a familiar feel for players, while the bridge relocation adds a touch of uniqueness to this exceptional model.
With attention to every detail, the S-22 12 Fret features maple binding and stunning sycamore-rocklite-mahogany purflings that accentuate its visual allure. The Gotoh 381 Gold tuners with ebony buttons not only provide reliable tuning stability but also add a touch of sophistication.
To complete this extraordinary package, the S-22 12 Fret comes strung with Lowden Light Gauge 12-53 strings, optimised to bring out the best tonal characteristics of this instrument. The combination of superb craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and meticulous design culminates in an acoustic guitar that will inspire your musical journey for years to come.
