LOWDEN WL-50 FF SINKER RED WOOD | BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD
LOWDEN WL-50 FF SINKER RED WOOD | BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD
Lowden Guitars 的50系列可謂Lowden 的Custom Shop,經過George Lowden 40多年的結他設計經驗、構造實驗及研究,Lowden 的精英團隊已經有一套準確的Tonewood (聲木)分級準則,對每一批Tonewood 作詳細的分析及評級。
雖然Lowden 所有的Tonewood 一向都具極高的聲學表現及出色的紋路,但George Lowden 總會千挑萬選出音色最不同凡響、紋路最稀有的Tonewood 保留給50系列,如最頂級的African Blackwood、Cuban Mahogany、Ziricote、Brazilian Rosewood 等。除了使用嚴選的Master Grade Tonewood,50系列亦有極高自由度的客製空間,以及極致華麗紋路的實木Binding、Purfling、Rosette 等貫徹在琴頭、琴頸及琴身上,50系列就是Lowden 的心血結精
The Wee Lowden
The Wee Lowden was designed by George at the request of Gary Lightbody as a gift for Ed Sheeran. It is designed to be compact with a 610 mm scale length, and a soundbox that is 40 mm narrower and 5 mm shallower then the S model. However, the internal bracing and the choice of woods are such that the bass response is increased as much as possible to avoid the 'boxy' sound that most small guitars have.
What George says 50 Series :
"When we receive our tone-woods into our workshops we re-grade them several times and only the rarest and exceptional pieces we reserve for our 50 series. Every 50 series guitar benefits visually and in tone from this very special wood. These are simply the very best we can make!"
