My Lowden is a real joy. Bought new over 40 years ago and still in great nick. Not one of the high end Lowdens but a really sweet sound.

The handmade guitar is from this guy - the red cedar/Indian rosewood item that’s showing as the last item on his Inventory page if you’re interested. (I didn’t pay anything like the price shown; it’s a long story!)

Wow CT, only ever seen one lowdown and it was sweet as a nut..no, don't get me wrong, as a seasoned player as I'm sure you are, you can find fault for these slimlines..they are a little sharpish on the fret edges, but iv seen a lot worse for cheap guitars, but they give you the same high end inbuilt tuner and jack and even a cellophane wrapped battery..the beauty of them is the finish..it's so slim almost as like an electric guitar..I've seen it said it's a travelling guitar, don't think I'd pay 200 quid for one but for 99.99? What's not to like...I've bought rubbish in the past for twice as much..as for the link, I'm not familiar at sending pictures to sites, only phones and laptops, otherwise I've got guitar pictures to send..I used to think gear for music were this cheap alternative but they make a few decent instruments and their shop in York is enormous with all the top brands..
