Tasmanian Blackwood has gained a reputation as one of the most highly prized tonewoods in the world, with good reason. Always highly figured and with a warm, responsive tone, this guitar sounds beautiful with either Cedar for clarity or Californian Redwood for even more warmth and response.
Lowden’s F-Models are mid-size guitars (the bodies measure about 15¹³/₁₆-inches at the lower bout) that were originally introduced with flat pickers in mind—thus, the “F” designation. However, as the various F-size signature models for players like Alex DeGrassi, Pierre Bensusan, and Richard Thompson attest, George Lowden’s F design is a versatile platform with appeal for players of many musical styles.
This Sinka Redwood-Tasmanian back and sides 35 series version not only looks amazing but also sounds beautifully rich and open.
