My jaw dropped during the audio clips. Oh my God. The tone! The sustain, the super rich overtones...Christ almighty that's an amazing guitar. My dream guitar now for sure. I want something I can pass down as an heirloom to future generations. Something like this would do it. Sit around on the homestead and write beautiful songs, playing this thing. What a life that'd be.
I love how even some of the Lowden guitar sounds. I've been watching this videos for on and off and I never get tired of the way this particular acoustic sounds.
I replaced the tops on four of my guitars with old growth sunken redwood including two with torified tops which is brittle. My fav is my Brazilian OM which is close to African Blackwood. That is a really sweet guitar.
This one sounds better with a pick for sure. Maybe a bit too soft on the attack in the lows with just fingers. But a pick really brought out the lushness.
Wow i really want a Lowden ,i am no expert but they sound wondeful ,i have played expensive gutiars at stores ,but nothing that sounds like lowdens ,going to save up , a one day bye one ,my dream !
Thanks! Yeah, believe it or not these are light gauge strings... even when tuned to a low C it holds up really well. Would be even nicer with mediums for that particular use. Cheers!
Just beautiful...I build with redwood soundboards in about half of my guitars and when it's paired with a hard and dense tonewood on the back and sides, the combo is just spectacular. Redwood has an undeserved reputation for being so soft that the low tones can get quite muddy but if you leave it a few thousandths thicker...say a .125-.130 inch final thickness, it resonates beautifully across the tone range. I have some stock that I ordered from redwoodsalvagesales.com which Petros uses in some of their African Rose guitars and the figure is so beautiful it defies description. It's 130 year old redwood so the tone is marvelous. If you are a serious builder, get some and try pairing it with some Indian rosewood...it sounds amazing.
Matt. I have more respect for your encyclopedic knowledge of tonewood and guitar styles than anyone I have come across in 53 years of playing. However I want your job. Please send me a copy of your resignation letter so I can send in my c.v.
toneman335 I agree, the guitar really speaks for itself. A quick intro about the guitar and it’s composition is really all that’s needed...over half of the video talking is too much. Awesome guitar.
I like Matt’s detailed descriptions - informative and interesting - good build up to hearing him play so beautifully to bring out the best in the guitars he shares with us all :)
I am utterly addicted to the Lowden sound. And this model in particular just makes me ache inside it's so gorgeous.

I really want this wonderful instrument from Lowden, WOW!
so glad the demos are back.
Lovely guitar and a great tone wood combo and beautifully finished. Sounds great :)

That is a really sweet guitar.
Beautiful instrument , very nice playing by both of you , thank you .
What a great demo of a great guitar! I own one of these, and it's a SWEET instrument!
Thanks Michael! This Lowden has definitely been one of our favorites so far.
wonderful playing and sound!
trollstjerne thanks!!
Got my first Lowdon in 2019... F24 the Sound is just beautiful
OK, , a dream instrument for me, , such wonderful deep overtones, wonderous sustain, , love your playing with the pick Matt.
This one sounds better with a pick for sure. Maybe a bit too soft on the attack in the lows with just fingers. But a pick really brought out the lushness.
Some heavy duty finger nails would sort that out.
Love the guitar and Love your videos!
Very excellent videos and detail on the guitars. Can you please tell me what 'open' tuning he uses @ 4:03. Many thanks.
Very nice guitar playing when you finally got around to it!
Chorus effect fr wood combination y built 😮boooomy
For finger picking only in this wood specification. Would you reccomend the O or the F model?
Realy the best choice of wood !
You really need to review this OM from Takamine CP7MOTT...super guitar!
Matt - you win the best moustache/beard award hands down...Oh, WAY COOL guitar too ;)
Wow i really want a Lowden ,i am no expert but they sound wondeful ,i have played expensive gutiars at stores ,but nothing that sounds like lowdens ,going to save up , a one day bye one ,my dream !
I could watch that low E string oscillate for days.
I'm amazed how the well the 6 string holds its tuning even with the dropped C. Great playing and video guys.
Thanks! Yeah, believe it or not these are light gauge strings... even when tuned to a low C it holds up really well. Would be even nicer with mediums for that particular use.
Cheers!
Guitar playing starts at 4:01
Beautiful tone
If it sounds this good new, think how it will sound when the woods have aged. My Sitka spruce topped guitars took almost a decade to open up.
Is the first guy Dallas Green?
What seems to be the price of guitar like this in US$?
Yea go northern ireland, my home country.
great sound
If you have to ask how much these guitars are, its a sure bet you cant afford one. Im talking about myself as well. Just saying.
Is that actually a sinker redwood top?
Yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no but...
like a grand piano...!!!!!!
What is the second music?
About how much US$ you are talking about here?
Around 10k
Well you certainly know how to pick them !
Informative beard.

What's the tune called that you've played feels like I've heard it somewhere
Michael played an original tune of his in open tuning, and I played an original tune of mine in standard tuning.
Cheers!
eddiesguitarsstl what is Michaels song called?
I just wanna know how much it costs...
No you don’t 😂
warm tone
It's proven: longer beard give better tone

Why would that guy palm mute when he could just beard mute 😂
He save's his beard to play "somebody I used to know"
Beautifull Made but far toooo expensive.
Honestly...You talked too much before playing the guitar!

Hippie....
