Lowden / S12-12 / 1996 / Natural / Guitar
|
Lowdens are the one brand of guitar, other than some vintage guitars, that have the quality that I like to call unputdownableness. This S12-12 is hugely responsive, it will excite you and challenge you at the same time, inspiring you to play beyond what you're normally capable of. The first thing that strikes you when you play this guitar is the amazing resonance and full tone, not boomy but very smooth. The overall sound is well balanced, with great definition and clarity. As with all Lowdens it handles alternate tuning particularly well, and is equally happy being fingerpicked or strummed, the neck is very comfortable and the action just right. At 18 years old, the Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides are starting to mature beautifully. The guitar is in excellent condition, with barely any playwear visible. It comes in it's original Lowden embossed Hiscox flight case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
