The Lowden O-35 Cedar/Madagascar Rosewood is a premium acoustic guitar crafted for the discerning player seeking extraordinary tonal nuance and visual elegance. The O (Original) body size delivers deep bass response and a wide dynamic range, perfectly complementing the warmth and complexity of the cedar top. Paired with the rich overtones and stunning clarity of Madagascar rosewood back and sides, this instrument offers a lush, balanced voice suited for everything from fingerstyle to open-chord strumming.

Built as part of Lowden’s esteemed 35 Series, the O-35 showcases luxurious appointments including a figured maple binding, abalone and rosewood rosette, and a five-piece mahogany/rosewood/walnut neck. With Gotoh 510 gold tuners and ebony buttons, an ebony headstock overlay, and rosewood bridge, the craftsmanship speaks as clearly as the tone. This guitar is a bold yet refined choice for serious musicians looking to explore a broader tonal palette.

This 2016-built guitar is in wonderful condition, with only the lightest of playwear and a perfect medium action. It sounds simply huge, with a woodier, warmer tone than you'd expect from a rosewood Lowden. Chords sound full and rich with a hint of natural compression, and single notes are thick, round and sweet. The O body shape is a little more comfortable than other jumbo guitars, without sacrificing bass and volume - in fact, it's one of the louder jumbos that we've heard! A beautiful handmade Lowden from a great era in their production. Includes original hardshell case.
