Lowden F50c African Blackwood Sinker Redwood #25390

This custom built F50c uses unique and spectacularly Mastergrade African Blackwood for the back and sides creating a visual and tonal landscape of unheard or -seen proportions. It also has a figured koa binding and a cutaway. But it does not end there!

The top is made from Mastergrade Dark Sinker Redwood. Sinker Redwood stems from California and originates from those beautiful often 1000 to 2000 year old trees which are only used when they have fallen naturally. The 'Sinker' designations tells you it's been on the banks of river for at least 100 years. The sound is breathtaking. The typical signature piano-like Lowden character is still present through the unique warm, defined and rich sound-palette the blackwood offers.

The 5-piece mahogany/rosewood neck with GL standard shape meets the body at the 14th fret, while the maple bound ebony fretboard continues it's way along the top until it meets the soundhole at the 21st fret where it has been finished with a graceful wave-shape.

Most ideally suited for fingerstyle and drop tunings like most Lowdens, a world-class instrument. Travels in a luxurious Ameritage case with TFOA passport.
