Lowden Custom S-50 Ancient Bog Oak
This Lowden S-50 Acoustic Guitar, is a true masterpiece for any guitar enthusiast. The guitar is a work of art, crafted from some of the finest materials available in the industry. The top of the guitar is made from Sinker Redwood wood, which provides bold response and warm overtones, think of Cedar on steroids
The back and sides of the guitar are made from Ancient Bog Oak, a wood that has been carbon-dated to be over 5000 years old. This wood is extremely dense and offers a deep, rich, and warm tonal response that is unmatched by any other material. The Ancient Bog Oak used in this guitar is sourced from the depths of the bogs in Ireland, making it an exclusive and unique choice for the discerning player.
One of the most notable features of this guitar is the arm bevel. This is a unique design element that provides unparalleled comfort and playability. The arm bevel is carved into the lower bout of the guitar, providing a smooth and comfortable surface for the player's forearm to rest on. This not only reduces discomfort during long playing sessions but also helps to increase the overall sound projection of the guitar.
The Lowden S-50 Acoustic Guitar is handcrafted in Northern Ireland by some of the most skilled luthiers in the world. Each guitar is made with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the guitar is perfectly crafted. The fingerboard and bridge are made from Ebony wood, which is renowned for its durability and rich tonal response.
