Description

<h2><span>The Original Series</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>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 Lowden's tradition of innovation and craftsmanship began. First developed back in 1976, these guitars feature hand-selected solid AAA grade tonewoods with all wood bindings, purflings, and rosette.</span></p><h2><span>The F</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>The F ('Flat picker') is Lowden's mid-size body shape and a design classic in its own right, first introduced in 1982 and refined in 2003 with a smaller soundhole for extra projection and focus. Known for its versatility, the F is well suited to a wide range of playing styles—from fingerpicking to strumming—making it an excellent choice for the all-round guitarist. With a focused midrange, articulate voice, and excellent sustain, the F offers a balance of comfort and projection that performs equally well on stage or in the studio.</span></p><h2><span>Tonewoods</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>This F-32C features a Sitka spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides—a time-honored tonewood combination. Over the years, the 32 has become highly sought after for its full-bodied yet clear and defined tone. The Sitka spruce top beautifully balances the warmth and fullness of the rosewood, creating rich, piano-like lows with sparkly trebles. Together, these woods deliver tonal richness with focused projection, making this guitar perfect for flat-picking and fingerstyle playing.</span></p><h2><span>Ideal for</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>All-rounder—great for fingerstyle, strumming, and flat picking. The F model provides the same tonal richness as larger Lowden bodies but with more focused projection, making it ideal for both stage performance and intimate playing settings.</span></p><h2><span>Tone profile</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>Warm, full, and clear with focused projection. Crisp, ultra-clean treble combined with remarkable bass extension. The inherent balance and even response create excellent note separation and definition across all registers. When strumming, the unwound strings produce a lovely pseudo 12-string effect while a low-mid thump helps propel rhythm parts.</span></p><h2><span>Comfort</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>Comfortable without sacrificing power, the mid-sized body strikes a practical balance for players of varying builds. The cutaway provides easy access to the upper regions of the fretboard, giving you a complete playing experience.</span></p><h2><span>Specifications</span></h2><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Back & Sides:</strong></b><span> Indian Rosewood</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Soundboard:</strong></b><span> Sitka Spruce</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Tuners:</strong></b><span> Gotoh Gold with Ebony buttons</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Bridge:</strong></b><span> Rosewood pinless bridge with split saddle</span></li><li value="5" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Neck:</strong></b><span> 5-piece Mahogany/Rosewood</span></li><li value="6" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Scale Length:</strong></b><span> 25½"</span></li><li value="7" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Nut Width:</strong></b><span> 1¾"</span></li><li value="8" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">String Spacing:</strong></b><span> 2 3/16" at saddle</span></li><li value="9" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Fretboard:</strong></b><span> Ebony</span></li><li value="10" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Cutaway:</strong></b><span> Venetian</span></li><li value="11" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Finish:</strong></b><span> Satin</span></li><li value="12" class="editor-listitem"><b><strong class="editor-bold">Case:</strong></b><span> Hardshell Case included</span></li></ul><h2><span>About the Construction</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span>Handbuilt in Northern Ireland by George Lowden and Co.
