The Lowden S-35 in Bastogne Walnut celebrates George Lowden's long-standing pioneering use of Walnut as a tonewood — an unconventional choice he made decades before it gained wider acceptance in acoustic guitar making. By carefully shaping the guitar's geometry to enrich its bass response, Lowden transforms Walnut's inherently bright, focused character into something deeply musical and well-rounded. Built in a compact Small body with a Western Red Cedar soundboard and refined 35 Series appointments, this guitar is crafted by hand at Lowden's County Down workshop and brings a distinctive voice to every style of playing.
