About this listing
2008 Lowden O-32 â Because Sometimes You Meet "The One"... and It Doesn't Even Talk Back.Let's get something out of the way right now...If you're looking for an acoustic guitar with enough abalone to be seen from the International Space Station... keep scrolling.If you're looking for a guitar that needs a built-in espresso machine, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, laser sights, cup holders, and a subscription service just to play a G chord... this isn't it either.This is a 2008 Lowden O-32, and George Lowden had one simple goal: make people forget they were listening to a guitar and start wondering where the piano hidden inside the body is.Mission accomplished.One strum and you'll understand why so many players become lifelong Lowden addicts. The sustain is ridiculous, the bass sounds like it pays property taxes, and every note blooms into a chorus of overtones that politely asks your other acoustics to leave the room.SpecsModel: O-32Color: Natural, satin finishTop: AAA Sitka SpruceBack & Sides: East Indian RosewoodNeck: Mahogany/Rosewood 5-PieceFingerboard: Ebony with Ebony BindingBridge: RosewoodScale Length: 650mm (25.6")Neck Profile: GL StandardBinding: MaplePurfling: Rosewood / Mahogany / Walnut / MapleTuners: Gotoh Gold with Ebony ButtonsOriginal Lowden Branded UK Hiscox Hardshell CaseOriginal Provenance CertificateOriginal Case CandySerial #: 16340ConditionBorn on October 14, 2008, this Lowden has clearly spent its life being admired more than played. She remains in Excellent condition with only honest signs of careful playing. There are a few light pick marks and surface scratches on the top, and on the transparent pick-guard, that simply confirms someone actually enjoyed owning one of the world's finest hand-built acoustics. There are no cracks, no structural issues, no surprises, and everything functions exactly as it should. The ebony fingerboard is exceptionally clean, the rosewood back and sides are gorgeous, and the satin finish has aged beautifully.Why Lowden?Martin makes wonderful guitars.Collings makes incredible guitars.Taylor makes fantastic guitars.Then there's Lowden...Lowden doesn't really compete with those guitarsâit simply sounds like it skipped the meeting where everyone agreed what an acoustic guitar was supposed to sound like.Huge piano-like bass.Crystal-clear trebles.Endless sustain.Ridiculous note separation.It's the kind of guitar that makes you accidentally play for three hours while your coffee becomes iced coffee.The CaseIncluded is the original UK-made Lowden-branded Hiscox hardshell case, one of the most sought-after molded acoustic cases ever produced.They're incredibly light, remarkably strong, increasingly difficult to find, and have almost developed their own fan club. Some people buy guitars just to get the case.(Okay... that's probably a slight exaggeration... but only a slight one.)Final ThoughtsThis isn't a guitar that screams for attention.It doesn't need to.It simply waits patiently until someone picks it up... and then quietly ruins every other acoustic they've ever owned.You've been warned.Whoever brings this baby home is going to be STOKED!!LET'S GO!!WHILE YOU ARE HERE, GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT MY OTHER LISTINGS!!Me- I have a 100% positive feedback rating, and intend to keep it that way!
