Ok gang, player reviews.

in the last 24 hours 2 LOWDEN owners have played around on this guitar......

wait, that sounds like.... well.... rude......

Anyway, LAst night our babysitter had a strum as we were heading out to a Brian Houston gig. He was impressed, especially with the bass response

this morning after church another guy had a wee go and he said he was amazed. Big sound and sweet tone.

FROM GUYS WHO ARE USED TO PLAYING LOWDENS!!!!!!

I'll just go & lie down

Joke: When do you see a Lowden owner DARE play another man's guitar?

Only when it's a loud'un.

martin, about eight or nine years ago i was in some weird sort of groove and did the same thing to a new saddle on a clients guitar, but i had only been doing the work for about 35 years or so at the time. fortunately i discovered my error as soon as i started to fine tune the intonation and my muddled brain tried to match tones that were not going to match, ever. another new saddle, and the very happy client was none the wiser. i've learnt better now.... crazymanmichael39111.4963078704
