GEORGE LOWDEN GUITARS

We are particularly proud to be a George Lowden Dealer here at Guitar Gallery. As you know, Lowden Guitars are hand made in Northern Ireland. The internal bracing is hand carved and its unique design gives Lowden Guitars their characteristic rich tone. The beauty of the select tone woods is fully appreciated because each guitar has a hand-polished natural satin finish. Lowden Guitars have an integral truss rod which does not compress the neck wood. All Lowdens come with Hiscox hard shell cases.

    Punch Leather Care!

    Yes folks, that's right! All you Lowden owner/lovers need to get a bottle of this. This is the stuff the folks at Lowden use on their fine guitars, and we recommend you do the same. It took some searching, but Charlie finally tracked down the source for this much needed product. Because of the superb hand polished finish on Lowden guitars, you do NOT use regular guitar polish on them. Only PUNCH will do. $5.95 for an aerosol bottle.

The headstock is overlaid in dark Claro Walnut to match the back and sides and inlayed with the customary Lowden logo. A special Millennium logo is descreetly inlayed on the guitar heelcap.
