Sale Pending - Lowden F-35c - Red Cedar & Quilted Mahogany

The Lowden F-35c in Red Cedar and Quilted Mahogany is a deeply expressive instrument that captures everything George Lowden has spent a lifetime refining. It is elegant, powerful, and unmistakably musical, built for players who listen as much as they play.

George Lowden’s philosophy has always centered on responsiveness, balance, and a natural, unforced voice. Rather than chasing volume alone, his designs focus on how a guitar breathes under the hands. The F body shape is a perfect expression of that vision, offering comfort, clarity, and surprising depth, while the Venetian cutaway invites exploration of the upper register without compromising tone.

The red cedar top sets the tonal character immediately. Red cedar offers the warmth and sensitivity of cedar with added headroom and harmonic complexity. It responds effortlessly to a light touch, yet it opens up beautifully when pushed, delivering a wide dynamic range with rich overtones and a velvety attack. Paired with master grade quilted mahogany back and sides, the result is a voice that is woody, articulate, and full of character, with a focused low end and a singing, rounded midrange.

Visually, this guitar is pure Lowden refinement. Maple body binding frames the instrument with subtle contrast, while mahogany, Rocklite, and maple purflings add depth and craftsmanship without excess. The abalone rosette provides a quiet flash of color, perfectly balanced against the organic beauty of the woods. Ebony front and rear headstock veneers and an ebony fingerboard with maple purflings complete a look that is confident and timeless.

The five piece mahogany and rosewood neck offers exceptional stability and a smooth, natural feel. Combined with a 650mm scale length, a 1 3/4 inch nut, and 2 3/16 inch bridge spacing, the playability is both precise and forgiving, ideal for fingerstyle, light strumming, and everything in between. The split saddle bridge enhances clarity and string separation, while the bone nut and saddle ensure maximum tonal transfer.

Gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines with ebony buttons add a final touch of luxury and rock solid tuning stability. A clear pickguard preserves the top while keeping the visual focus on the stunning sinker redwood grain.

Weighing in at just 4 lbs 4 oz, this F-35c feels alive in the hands, resonating against the player in a way that immediately inspires confidence and creativity. It is not just a guitar built to be admired, but one built to be played, heard, and trusted.

This Lowden is a true reflection of George Lowden’s legacy, an instrument where artistry, innovation, and musicality come together in perfect harmony.
