Description
circa 1980's Lowden L2-7F Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #835.This L2-7F is a rare prototype from George Lowden's early Northern Ireland period and showcases the thoughtful design and tonal innovation that would define his career. The combination of a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides delivers a warm, open tone with strong overtones and superb clarity-especially well-suited for fingerstyle playing. The maple binding adds a clean, elegant visual touch, while the small jumbo body size provides both comfort and projection. As an early model, this guitar holds unique appeal for both collectors and Lowden enthusiasts seeking an unplayed example from the roots of one of today's most respected boutique guitar makers.
Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
