Lowden F-35 - Sinker Redwood & Quilted Mahogany #29119

The Lowden F-35 in AAAA Sinker Redwood and AAAA Quilted Mahogany is a breathtaking example of everything that has made George Lowden one of the most revered luthiers of the modern era. Elegant, responsive, and impossibly alive in the hands, this instrument captures the unmistakable Lowden character while showcasing a visually stunning and tonally rich pairing of woods that feels every bit as luxurious as it looks.

At the heart of the guitar is a master grade AAAA Sinker Redwood top, a tonewood prized for its remarkable warmth, sensitivity, and overtone complexity. There is an immediacy to sinker redwood that feels almost vocal, allowing the lightest touch to bloom into a rich and harmonically layered voice. Paired with AAAA Quilted Mahogany back and sides, the result is a sound that is warm and open, yet beautifully articulate, with a velvety midrange and a shimmering top end that hangs effortlessly in the air.

Visually, this F-35 is pure Lowden sophistication. The dramatic quilted figure of the mahogany ripples beneath the light with extraordinary depth, framed perfectly by refined Maple body binding and Mahogany, Rocklite, and Maple purflings that give the instrument an understated but unmistakably high-end elegance. The Abalone rosette adds just the right touch of iridescent detail without ever distracting from the organic beauty of the wood itself.

The 5-piece Mahogany and Rosewood neck offers exceptional stability and comfort, while the Ebony fingerboard with Maple purflings continues the guitar’s clean and sophisticated aesthetic. Ebony front and rear headstock veneers, Gotoh Gold 510 tuning machines with Ebony buttons, and the signature Lowden split saddle bridge all contribute to a build quality that feels deeply intentional in every detail.

In hand, the F body shape remains one of George Lowden’s greatest achievements. Comfortable and ergonomic while still delivering enormous depth and projection, it produces a voice that feels expansive without ever losing focus. The 650mm scale length provides excellent string tension and clarity, while the 1 3/4” nut width and 2 3/16” bridge spacing create a fingerstyle experience that is spacious, precise, and inspiring.

Weighing only 4 lbs 6 oz, this guitar feels astonishingly alive against the body. Every note seems to rise effortlessly from the instrument with the kind of sustain and harmonic richness that has defined the Lowden sound for generations.

This is not simply a beautiful guitar. It is the culmination of decades of refinement from one of the world’s great acoustic builders, brought to life through an extraordinary selection of tonewoods and uncompromising craftsmanship.
