When George Lowden was a teenager, his my dream guitar was a 335, mainly because he loved the guitar sound from songs like 'White Room' and 'Politician'!

So, it was inevitable that he'd design a double cutaway, semi hollow electric. The concept was to have a smaller body size than a 335 and, most importantly, it was to be made with a solid wood, carved top plate (or 'cap') rather than the more standard laminated designs found on other guitars. Thus, the GL-J was born. The neck contour and frets are like the GL-10 and therefore has the same fast and smooth feel.

When reviewing the GL-J, Guitarist (Europe's largest guitar magazine) commented, "The build is nothing short of exceptional, and so is the feel. The combination of the relatively thin body and the recessed bridge gives a very low-profile feel that hugs to your body", before concluding, "It's the experienced craft and design that shines here, with a pared-back aesthetic and glorious sounds - a real musician's tool."

GL-J specs include:

• Two-piece African Mahogany body with centre-joined top. 
• Three-piece American Mahogany neck with two-piece rosewood splice
• Ebony fingerboard with Maple or Mahogany purfling
• Mother of Pearl side fingerboard markers
