Lowden F-12 Original Series Acoustic Guitar - Natural

For years, I have been envisioning a lightweight “bolt-on” neck joint — one that would create a solid, reliable connection without disturbing the natural balance of the instrument. In addition, I have slightly reduced the neck stiffness by using a three-piece construction, which also allows for a greater transference of the neck’s natural vibration. The results are two completely new models, each retaining that signature Lowden tone, now enhanced with versatility for a wide range of playing styles — from bluegrass and fingerpicking to Celtic strumming. These innovative Lowden models are now available at Sadek Music, offering musicians a unique blend of tradition, playability, and tonal excellence.
