Lowden F-12 Original Series 'Sitka Spruce / Indian Rosewood' Acoustic Guitar

The Lowden F-12 Original Series offers a refined take on the classic F-style body, balancing the rich heritage of Lowden’s luthiery with modern versatility.

Whether you’re playing bluegrass runs, intricate fingerpicking, or lush Celtic strumming, this guitar adapts beautifully to a wide range of styles.

The 3-piece bolt-on mahogany neck enhances vibration transfer while offering a slightly reduced stiffness for a more organic feel. Aesthetically, the F-12 is elegantly appointed with cherry binding, maple-rocklite-mahogany purflings, and gold Gotoh tuners with ebony buttons.
