Lowden S-35C 12th Fret | AAAA Mahogany - AAAA Lutz Spruce - Used

Here we have a beautiful Lowden S-35C 12th Fret from the Speciality Collection in an exceptional pre-owned condition. This guitar caters to the needs of discerning musicians who demand more than what the standard models offer.

This particular S-35C 12th Fret is not your regular pre-owned guitar; it's in excellent condition, about as good as you could get for a second-hand instrument. The meticulous care it has received ensures that it performs at its absolute best, just like a brand new one, but with the benefit of a couple of years of being played in.

Crafted with the finest AAAA grade tone woods, the S-35C boasts a soundboard of Lutz Spruce and back and sides of Mahogany, setting the stage for rich, resonant tones. The bindings are made from figured maple, ensuring not just structural integrity but also a touch of elegance.

The 12th Fret model offers something unique within the Lowden range. Though it maintains the same scale length as the 14 fret S model (630mm), the bridge's relocation to the 12th fret changes the game. This clever move enhances midrange punch, providing the guitar with a projection and vibrancy that's reminiscent of larger-bodied instruments. The 12 Fret model offers a truly distinctive sound that sets it apart from other models in the range.

The S-35C is built with a small body design, known for its surprising tonal qualities. Many small guitars tend to lack volume and can sound boxy, but the S model defies these expectations. In fact, it's one of the loudest in the Lowden lineup, with a bass response and sustain that defy its compact size. This guitar is intentionally designed and braced for a bass bias, giving you a full and balanced tonal profile.

It features intricate purflings of Mahogany-Rosewood-Maple and a striking abalone/ebony rosette. The fingerboard is ebony and adorned with ebony/maple bindings, enhancing both playability and elegance.

The GL standard neck profile is so comfortable, measuring 45mm at the nut and extending to 57mm at the 14th fret. This ensures great playability while accommodating a wide range of playing styles.

With the added custom option of a cutaway, you have easy access to the upper frets.

What's even more remarkable is the price. While the new RRP for this guitar stands at a hefty £6395, we're offering this remarkable pre-owned instrument in excellent condition for just £2999. That's an incredible saving, especially considering the pristine condition of this S-35C.

If you're ready to step up your acoustic game and invest in a guitar that offers an unparalleled combination of exquisite craftsmanship and an amazing price, this Lowden is the one for you. Experience a new world of acoustic tone and dynamic range without breaking the bank.
