Until now, The 38 model exclusively featured Brazilian Rosewood paired with Red Cedar only. In recognition of the importance and longevity of The 38, ‘Batch 45’ was conceived as a tribute to this iconic guitar. Limited to 45 guitars worldwide, The collection consists of three different guitar builds (15 each total), each a unique tribute to the original 38 featuring new, bespoke wood combinations paired with traditional 38 style appointments- the F-38 Indian Rosewood paired and Lutz Spruce, the O-38 with Bubinga and Cedar top and this one, the F-38 Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. Available to Lowden’s top dealers around the globe, Down Home Guitars is honored to have this ‘Batch 45’ Limited Edition collection available for you!
This Lowden F-38 Limited Edition is built with AAAA grade Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top.

Bound in Flamed Maple, the 38-style Abalone Pearl top trim, rosette and Leaf fretboard inlays just set it apart from the rest. Extremely comfortable to play for a mid sized jumbo- it’s comfort meets old world class.
