Lowden

Lowden Guitars was founded by George Lowden in 1974 and has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, and a distinct, rich tonal quality. The guitars are built and voiced with Japanese hand tools under the close supervision of Master Luthier George Lowden and his sons in their Northern Ireland workshop. The range includes the Original Series, 35 Series, 50 Series, and GL Electric Series, alongside artist signature models such as those for Richard Thompson, Alex De Grassi, Thomas Leeb, Pierre Bensusan, and Paul Brady.

George Lowden's journey in guitar making began in the summer of 1961, at the age of ten, when he and his friend Alan French, with the help of Alan's father, a boat builder in Groomsport, County Down, crafted their first "guitars" using fishing line for strings, bent nails for frets, and a square soundbox. At 18, in 1969, he attempted to build an electric guitar. In 1974, George decided to pursue guitar making professionally, equipped with basic woodworking tools and a booklet from English luthier John Bailley, teaching himself over the next two years. By 1976, he developed innovative bracing designs including "Dolphin" strut profiles and A-frame bracing, with the first guitars featuring these innovations completed that year.
