Signature Series
Pierre Bensusan
The first guitar I made for Pierre was back in 1978 — over the years since then Pierre and I have worked very closely together. Designing and building a new guitar for Pierre in 2009 was a project which I approached with special expectation and hope.
Pierre asked me to include a soundbox “bevel” and apart from the structural implications, I knew the most important thing would be to design and voice the new soundboard to make sure the bevel did not compromise tone in any way.
To make sure the new guitar had plenty of brilliance and warmth at the same time, I chose Honduras rosewood and Adirondack spruce. I’m delighted how the guitar has turned out and of course it will only get better with age – and an awful lot of playing – and we can be sure Pierre will do just that! — George

The Original Series captures the essence of what makes a Lowden guitar. Designed with George Lowden’s unique and original bracing, these guitars deliver the distinctive Lowden sound: full, warm, and dynamically responsive. With understated aesthetics and a focus on tonal purity, the Original Series is where our tradition of innovation and craftsmanship began.

In 2004 George decided that a series of guitars similar to the original series but with a couple of upgrades would be great to offer to the players who wanted the best tuners you can get on the one hand, but also had a little more detailing in the appointments in general. So the 35 series was born.

The 50 Series is where the Lowden team explore the limits of tonal and aesthetic refinement, using exclusively Master Grade tone-woods. Designed for players who value uncompromising quality, this series offers an exceptional level of customisation. The goal is simple: to create an instrument that exemplifies the finest craftsmanship the Lowden team can achieve.

The Lowden Jazz is fitted with an board pickup as standard. The soundbox is voiced for a really great acoustic response, and at the same time stiff enough to prevent the whole guitar from overreacting when played loud through a sound system.
