Lowden F50 African Blackwood Sinker Redwood 2024

The Lowden 50 Series is the very best Lowden has to offer, the cream of the crop. This custom-built F50 uses unique and spectacular Mastergrade African Blackwood for the back and sides and features ebony binding. But it doesn't stop there!

The top is made of Mastergrade Sinker Redwood. Sinker Redwood comes from California and is harvested from 1,000- to 2,000-year-old trees that have fallen naturally and been preserved underwater for centuries. The sound of this wood is breathtaking. The characteristic, recognizable piano-like Lowden tone is clearly discernible thanks to the uniquely warm, defined, and rich tonal palette of the African Blackwood!

Around the soundhole, we also find a beautiful rosette made of koa and abalone. The 5-piece mahogany/rosewood neck with a "GL Standard" shape meets the body at the 14th fret, while the ebony fingerboard continues along the top until it meets the soundhole with a beautiful curve.

This Lowden was built in 2024 and, with only minimal playwear, is virtually indistinguishable from new. The guitar comes with a TFOA passport and comes in an Ameritage hardshell case.
