Introducing the Lowden S-23 from The Original Series, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and innovation. This guitar embodies the heritage and uncompromising quality that defines Lowden guitars. With its unique combination of features, the S-23 is a true gem in the world of acoustic guitars.
The S-23 is the first small-bodied steel string guitar designed by George Lowden himself. Meticulously crafted, it features a medium hard AAA walnut back and sides, which provide exceptional clarity and definition to every note. The warm tones produced by the cedar soundboard create a rich and immersive sound experience.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the S-23 is its surprising volume and projection. Despite its small size, this guitar boasts an incredible bass response and sustain that defies expectations. The carefully designed bracing and soundbox geometry result in a guitar that is not only compact but also loud and powerful, making it perfect for both intimate performances and larger venues.
The attention to detail in the S-23 is evident from the moment you lay eyes on it. The understated aesthetic appointments, including the seven-piece wood rosette, figured sycamore binding, and sycamore/walnut/rosewood/mahogany purfling on the top, showcase the elegance of this instrument. The rosewood front-head facing and ebony fingerboard add a touch of sophistication to its overall design.
Crafted with precision and passion, the S-23 features a 5-piece mahogany/rosewood neck with the unique GL standard profile. This neck profile ensures optimal playability and comfort, allowing you to effortlessly navigate the fretboard. The Gotoh 381 Gold tuners with ebony buttons provide stability and precise tuning, ensuring that your performance is always in harmony.
As for amplification, this S-23 comes equipped with the renowned LR Baggs Anthem system. This award-winning system combines LR Baggs' patented TRU MIC technology with their acclaimed Element pickup to deliver studio-quality sound in any live performance setting. The TRU MIC captures the dynamic sound of a studio microphone, mounted just beneath the bridge plate to take advantage of the PZM effect. Paired with the Element pickup, it ensures balanced frequency response, remarkable feedback suppression, and unmatched clarity for an amplified sound that rivals a professional studio recording.

Experience the beauty of walnut back and sides, the warmth of the cedar soundboard, and the unmatched playability of the GL standard neck. Elevate your musical journey with a guitar that sets the standard for excellence. The Lowden S-23 awaits you.
