🌲 Tonewoods & Body Design

• Top (Soundboard): Western Red Cedar – lightweight, highly responsive, delivers warm tone with bell‑like overtones.
• Back & Sides: Indian Rosewood – rich overtones, deep low end, warm mids and crisp highs; gives the instrument full spectrum presence.
• Body Style: S‑model (Concert size) – Lowden’s “small body, big sound” design. Although compact, it delivers impressive low‑end and volume due to its engineered resonance.
• 35 Series Upgrades: Premium curly maple binding, elegant soundhole inlay (rosewood/turquoise), 5‑piece neck (mahogany/rosewood/walnut), no‑pin bridge with split‑saddle design, hand‑rubbed satin finish.

🔧 Specifications

• Fingerboard: Ebony with maple binding
• Bridge: Indian Rosewood, pinless design / split saddle
• Binding: Curly Maple
• Finish: Hand‑rubbed satin
• Tuners: Gotoh 510 gold with ebony buttons
• Nut Width: Approx. 45 mm (1 ¾″)
• Scale Length: 630 mm (24.8″) – shorter scale for easier playability

🎧 Sound Profile

Thanks to the matched woods and thoughtful design, the S‑35 delivers:

• Cedar top → immediate response, subtle nuance with light touch
• Indian Rosewood back/sides → full low end, rich overtones, crisp high frequencies
• Balanced tone across the board, perfect for fingerstyle, open chords, picking and strumming alike
• Compact body without compromise: fills room, projects clearly, maintained dynamic expression

📋 Condition Summary

• Pre‑owned model in excellent condition
• No significant wood damage or cracks
• Smooth, consistent finish with minimal wear
• Neck straight, frets and fretboard professionally set up and maintained
• Internal structure inspected, bracing intact
• Serial number 15189 clearly legible

🧾 Serial & Year Info

• Lowden does not publish a full public serial‑year chart
• The 35 Series numbering (from ~15001 onwards) corresponds to instruments built at the Northern Ireland Downpatrick workshop post‑2004
• Serial No. 15189 suggests a build year around 2004–05
• For precise year/production data you may contact Lowden with the serial number and request the build sheet

🌟 Why This Guitar Stands Out

• Elite tonewoods + meticulous hand‑crafting
• Compact body with serious sonic presence
• Ideal for professional use or discerning collectors
• Part of Lowden’s premium 35 Series – excellent instrument value and brand legacy
