Lowden / S22C Mahogany Cedar / 1981 / Guitar

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. About 1,000 guitars were built annually under license from George Lowden, and Lowden's Japanese adventure lasted about five years. This was a major step in Lowden's production, as up to that point some 143 guitars had been built in the initial period in Northern Ireland. This Lowden S22C is from 1981 and consists of a mahogany back and sides with a cedar top. What is striking is the large body shape that is now the O model, significantly different from the current S which is one of the smallest Lowden models today. The body features a florentine cutaway that makes the higher frets easily accessible. The five-piece neck is made of maple and mahogany, and has a C-profile that shifts slightly to a soft-V profile. It is clear that this Lowden has been well cared for over 43 years. The guitar has playwear on the body and neck, including some dings on the top and the side of the body. Three cracks have also been repaired on the top so that the guitar is stable again. The guitar is also equipped with a pickup so that the guitar can also be played amplified. With a warm and full sound full of sustain, this Lowden is a beautiful sounding guitar, as Tom shows in the demo below! Played by Tom Punt | Demo Gear: Ear Trumpet Labs Evelyn Stereo Microphone

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.
