The Lowden F-50 is a masterclass in acoustic guitar craftsmanship, designed for discerning players who demand the finest in tone, feel, and aesthetic elegance. Part of Lowden’s elite 50 Series, the F-50 represents the pinnacle of George Lowden’s luthiery, where only the rarest tonewoods and meticulous hand-built techniques come into play.
Premium Construction
The F-50 features a beautifully sculpted body in Lowden’s signature "F" shape – ideal for fingerstyle and strumming alike. Each instrument is constructed with master grade tonewoods, such as AAAA Sitka Spruce or Red Cedar tops paired with exotic back and sides like African Blackwood or Cocobolo, ensuring rich harmonic complexity and exceptional projection.
Refined Playability
A five-piece mahogany and rosewood neck offers stability and a smooth feel, while the ebony fingerboard delivers responsive touch sensitivity. The custom neck profile and precision fretwork offer effortless playability across all registers, making it a favorite among professional performers and studio artists.
Visual Artistry
Aesthetic touches include elegant figured wood bindings, purfling lines in koa or abalone, and a signature hand-carved bevel for added comfort. Every detail is executed with artistic precision, from the inlay work to the ultra-thin gloss finish that enhances both beauty and resonance.
Unparalleled Sound
Tonally, the Lowden F-50 is complex, dynamic, and breathtakingly articulate. It offers deep, rich lows, crystalline highs, and a balanced midrange that makes it incredibly versatile for a wide range of playing styles. Whether in the studio or on stage, the F-50 delivers a truly inspiring voice.
