The L32PP, with its rosewood and cedar tonewood pairing, delivers a deep, resonant voice ideal for fingerstyle and open tunings, with a smooth dynamic range and rich overtones. As an early example from George Lowden's Northern Ireland workshop, this guitar showcases the builder's dedication to quality and innovation during the formative years of the brand.
