The Lowden Original Series 23 Model, available at Sadek Music, is celebrated for its sweet, warm, and clear tones, offering deep resonance and a complex sound that feels like a mellower take on the 22. In the "O" jumbo size, it delivers rich, resonant tones with surprising lightness, making it a joy to play. For those seeking a punchier and more focused sound, the "F" mid-sized version provides excellent clarity and projection. The "S" small-bodied version, George Lowden’s first steel-string design, features AAA walnut back and sides paired with a cedar top, producing a warm, loud, and well-balanced tone. The soundbox geometry is finely tuned to enhance bass while maintaining the naturally strong treble, resulting in a beautifully balanced instrument suitable for nuanced and expressive playing. Experience the craftsmanship and tonal excellence of the Lowden 23 Series at Sadek Music. Back and Sides: The O-23 features walnut for its back and sides. Lowden has long favoured walnut for its clarity and definition across all body sizes, a sentiment unchanged since he first used it for an S prototype in 1991. Soundboard: The top is made from Red Cedar, a wood renowned for its warm, responsive tone, perfectly complementing the walnut back and sides. Neck and Fingerboard: The neck of the O-23 is a 5-piece construction of mahogany and rosewood, offering stability and excellent tonal characteristics. The fingerboard is ebony, providing a smooth playing surface and luxurious feel. The GL standard neck profile, measuring 45mm at the nut and extending to 57mm at the 14th fret, ensures comfortable playability. FEATURES Binding and Purflings: The guitar features maple binding, with purflings crafted from maple, rocklite, and mahogany, adding a touch of elegance. Hardware: The O-23 is equipped with Gotoh 381 Gold tuners with ebony buttons, ensuring precise tuning and a premium aesthetic. Strings: Strung with Lowden Light Gauge 12-53 strings, the O-23 delivers a balanced, vibrant tone.
