Lowden F-35c Sinker Redwood Guatemala Rosewood

Well here's the top of the food chain. The guitar is flawless I just had a professionally set up by a luthier nearby but I have too many guitars . You're paying more for is the AAAA Sinker Redwood top and Guatemalan Rosewood back & sides. It's very rare combination. You might find one, maybe two at the most anywhere in the world or on line. It is indeed an extravagant build. That's why it's a bit more than your typical Rosewood/top combinations in the f-35 series. And yes, they make a difference in tone!! All the difference,! IMO. Good luck, I'm open to compete with any one you may find on line.

Here's the Story:

In 2004, George Lowden introduced the 35 Series as an upgraded take on the Original Series—offering premium appointments and the highest-grade materials for players seeking both refined tone and elegant detail. The 35 Series features enhanced aesthetic touches and Gotoh 510 tuners for smooth, precise tuning.

The F

The F (‘Flat picker’) is Lowden’s mid-size body shape and a design classic in its own right. Known for its versatility, the F is well suited to a wide range of playing styles—from fingerpicking to light strumming—making it an excellent choice for the all-round guitarist. With a focused midrange, articulate voice, and excellent sustain, the F offers a balance of comfort and projection that performs equally well on stage or in the studio.

Tonewoods

This model pairs a sinker redwood top with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides. Sinker redwood, harvested from old-growth logs submerged in riverbeds, combines the warmth of cedar with the dynamic power of spruce. It delivers a rich, velvety tone with quick response and strong sustain, particularly suited to expressive playing styles.

Guatemalan rosewood—one of George Lowden’s personal favorites—offers clarity, warmth, and definition in equal measure. Often compared to Brazilian rosewood in tonal character, it produces a complex, harmonically rich sound with deep lows, clear trebles, and excellent projection.
