Signature Series
Thomas Leeb
We believe that Thomas is one of the world’s most innovative and musical players of today and are particularly proud that he plays our guitars – not to mention helping us to demonstrate their capabilities!
And so it is especially fitting that we have collaborated with him in the design of this signature model. Thomas’ playing varies from highly percussive passages to the very lyrical and melodic, therefore his signature model had to be capable of responding to the wide variety of playing styles that he uses.
He chose our larger ‘O’ body size for the complexity and bass response and Figured Walnut with a Sitka Spruce top for the extra definition and clarity that he needs. The specially designed ‘scratch plate’ is helpful for creating the ‘snare drum’ type sounds which Thomas needs for certain pieces.

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.

At Lowden, our story is as much about the people who play our instruments as it is about the craftsmanship behind them. Explore our collection of guitars inspired by Lowden signature players.

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.
