Lowden Guitars 032 Indian Rosewood & Sitka Spruce

The 32 Series has become one of the most sought-after offerings in the Lowden lineup, known for its full-bodied yet clear and defined tone. Its pairing of Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood delivers a rich, dynamic voice—balancing warmth and projection with tonal clarity and separation. It’s a versatile and musical instrument for players who value both responsiveness and depth.

The O

The O (Original) is Lowden’s largest body shape and the first George Lowden designed back in 1974. Built for players who seek richness, depth, and tonal complexity, the O excels in open tunings and full-range playing. With piano-like sustain and a well-balanced voice across the tonal spectrum, it offers strong projection and presence without sacrificing nuance. The O is ideal for both fingerstyle and strumming, particularly when a bold, resonant sound is desired.

Tonewoods

This model features a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The Sitka top provides a clear, focused response with excellent dynamic range, while the Indian rosewood body adds depth, warmth, and shimmering high-end detail. Together, they create a full-bodied tone with clarity and balance, well suited for both intricate playing and broad, resonant strumming.
