Limited Edition #4 of 30
Limited to only 30 guitars worldwide, the Lowden Winter 2017 Limited Edition series is a very rare offering. Built with Ancient Bog Oak back and sides and overlays, a hardwood dated over 5,300 years old! The Oak was harvested from a peat bog in the UK and has been submerged in complete darkness for thousands of years. The beginning stages of fossilization and the sediment give it this rare black hue, very similiar to African Blackwood. The wood has aged over millenia to become and extremely dense yet highly vibrant tone wood that is amazing to behold. Lowden has paired the Oak for this guitar with AAAA grade Lutz Spruce (Picea x Lutzi), a natural hybrid of Sitka Spruce and White Spruce bearing the wonderful traits of the stiffness of Sitka Spruce with the lower density of the White or Engelmann Spruce, perfect for a guitar soundboard.
We built this limited edition model on the O-35 build, the biggest, jumbo body Lowden makes, producing a big, rich overall tone with bass you can feel and crisp and clear, balanced mids and highs. Features a unique 5-piece Cherry and Walnut neck, Tasmanian Blackwood bindings, bookmatched Ancient Bog Oak headstock overlays, limited edition label and custom deluxe Ameritage hardshell case.
