Lowden Guitars

The Wee Lowden (WL)

Our most compact design, the Wee Lowden is a travel friendly, parlour style guitar that sacrifices nothing in tone. Ideal for players who prioritize portability without compromising on sound.

Ideal for Travel, smaller frames, and composing. Perfect for blues and ragtime.
Tone profile Detailed, and surprisingly full for its size.
Comfort It's 'wee'; you can take it anywhere!

The S

Compact and elegant, the S is our version of a concert guitar.

We love its tonal depth and its excellent projection, particularly for a smaller guitar. The S is perfect for players with a lighter touch or those seeking a more intimate, personal playing experience.

Don't be fooled by its size — the S delivers the volume and tonal warmth usually associated with a much larger instrument.

Ideal for Fingerstyle, light strumming.
Tone profile Warm, focused and intimate
Comfort Great for smaller frames, composing, and extended playing sessions.

The F

The F (‘Flat picker’) is a design classic and is our mid-size guitar. It’s perfect for the all-round guitarist.

The focussed midrange and articulate voice adapt seamlessly to both strumming and fingerstyle techniques, whilst offering exceptional response and sustain. The F is a favourite for its balance of comfort and projection, making it ideal for both stage and studio.

Ideal for Fingerstyle, light strumming.
Tone profile Warm, focused and intimate
Comfort Great for smaller frames, composing, and extended playing sessions.

The O

Our largest guitar, the O (Original) is the body shape first designed by George back in 1974.

Created for those seeking complexity and richness of tone, the O excels in open and alternative tunings. With its piano-like sustain, the O maintains a well-balanced response across all registers, offering clarity and projection for players who demand presence.

Ideal for Fingerstyle, strumming, open tunings and solo performers.
Tone profile Deep bass, balanced mids, and sparkling trebles.
Comfort Best suited for players accustomed to larger guitars.

Original Series

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.

35 Series

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.
