2001 Lowden O-35c SLE, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar

With guitars like these in your life, it's hard to think you could ever have a bad day. We're big fans of Lowdens here at Dream--George's team has put out tons of powerhouse guitars for decades now--but there's something special about getting to visit with an older O-35c SLE (Special Limited Edition) model that's upfitted with gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood. Add in play time, the alchemy of Cedar as it opens up, and a sweetly rounded neck profile, and you've got a recipe for a PMPG: Pretty Much Perfect Guitar. This is number five of a limited run from 2001, has been played in and bears the marks of regular loving use, and is ready for more action. The voice. Is. Huge. Wide open and colorful, but with a particularly crisp and snappy fundamental that you wouldn't otherwise expect from a Cedar top. So you get the best of both, warm complexity and a well-defined fundamental. Comes wrapped up in a newer Ameritage case.Other keywords/misspellings - Lowdoun, 12896, fingerstyle, bensusan, dadgad, luthier, lutherie
