The Lowden guitar reflects the very personal approach and philosophy of its designer, George Lowden. In this series, George comments on the aspects that contribute to the Lowden voice. He explains it like this - "Designing and building guitars is a matter of the wood choice first, the design second and the workmanship third. All woods give slightly different tonal responses and I will often advise players which might suit them best according to their playing style." When a player decides to choose a Lowden, it is because the guitar speaks to them. Something in its unique sound and the craftsmanship which goes into the building of it captures the heart.
