A special run of limited edition guitars to celebrate George Lowden’s 70th birthday, each one featuring a unique specification carefully chosen by George himself.

Why We Love This

This F-50 features master-grade Guatemalan Rosewood back and sides, and a master Sitka Spruce top, resulting in the rich, sonorous tone on which Lowden has made their name.

Each 70th Birthday guitar features a commemorative 'LXX' inlay and booklet, and includes an Ameritage hardshell case.

"Throughout his life and career, George Lowden has drawn inspiration and motivation from his surroundings. Be it the scenic beaches of the North Antrim coast to the rolling hills of South Down, George has embraced nature and wildlife. These often find their way in to his designs dating as far back as 1976 when George created ‘Dolphin’ profile bracing.

One such animal that caught his eye whilst living in rural County Down was the Pine Marten. This incredibly rare, native to Ireland, creature had set up home in the woods between the Lowden family home and our workshop at the time in Downpatrick. Evoking images of fond memories, the Pine Marten has now found its way on to the design of an ‘as yet to be revealed’ guitar, and is therefore rightly pictured on the label and provenance book that accompanies each of the 70 birthday guitars." ~ Lowden Guitars
