Lowden / S22 Cedar Mahogany / 1985 / Guitar For Sale

Georde Lowden started building guitars in 1974 in his very first workshop in Bangor, Northern Ireland. However, from 1980 onwards, production moved to Japan for a few years, where Sadao Yairi was in charge of the workshop in Nagoya. Around 1000 guitars were built annually under license from George Lowden, and Lowden's Japanese adventure lasted for around five years. This was a big step in Lowden's production, because up until then around 143 guitars had been built in the first period in Northern Ireland. This Lowden S22 comes from 1985 and is built from a mahogany back and sides with a cedar top. Striking is the large body shape that is now the O-model, significantly different from the current S which is now one of the smallest Lowden models. The five-piece neck is made of maple and mahogany, and has a C-profile that slightly tapers to a soft-V-profile. The guitar has clearly been treated with care in its 40-year existence. The guitar has light playwear and a few dings on the top and body, with a crack in the lacquer on the bass side of the neck, but the guitar looks very neat considering its vintage status! Thanks to the installed piezo pickup, this Lowden can also be played amplified very well. With a warm and full sound full of sustain, this Lowden is a beautiful sounding guitar!

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
