Lowden Nylon S25J

The handle is a delight, ease of playing, with a total developed a high quality finish, the wood tops, drawing back is a perfect symmetry.
The bridge with its particular form, add a stamp ...
We inside the sensor box fishman and a volume control near the soundhole.
For the past few years, not pierces Lowden more sides (before there was a volume knob and tone wood).
So for the purists, but happiness ...!

UTILIZATION

The box is not very big, but it casts a power with a balance outstanding sound, the bass is detailed and precise, warm mids and clear highs.
The notes are well defined, with a slight compression, sustain remarkable, beautiful natural reverb.
Access to acute is exellent.

SOUNDS

I think you can do anything to do with this guitar, which is interested in, is dynamic, it has a power reserve as soon as you push the notes.
Acoustic is very beautiful, it can be lost, because when you play with, we forget to take care watching the clock.
I plugged into a Yamaha digital table or preamp via a live voice TC (epu just reverb) and then again ...... the magic of sound!.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried other models, although very beautiful, comfortable, but the sound is not ... So I crossed the not a more expensive, but when you love ....
A dream instrument .... Made in the workshops of George Lowden, be patient, because delays are nearly June-July mois.Au final was an instrument of great beauty, with beautiful woods.
Yes it is true, the price is high (and the options are very expensive).

But in the end, the dream has a price, as in all the brand stories, and in my opinion is one of Lowden Legends who have traced the history of the guitar.

the guitar is making Irish George Lowden has modifications to the model in 2003 to improve the sound.

UTILIZATION

in terms of ergonomics, the guitar is comfortable, the body is relatively small, the handle is fine, some say too late, others do not. it is a matter of taste. it has more dimensions of a sleeve of sound.
the violin is beautiful, but beware, the cedar is very fragile (the wood is very soft) and a single shot pick or nail forever mark the guitar.
the guitar that I had had very low action and was really easy to play.

SOUNDS

come in to her: Well that's where we disillusioned, pure acoustic guitar does not sound, the sound is dull, no projection, no sustain, if not with the bass. general register is located in the medium. test with different brands of strings and pulling different guitar does not speak! how to say ... the sound is closed.
Good, the primary purpose of this guitar is to be played plugged in, and there, we find ourselves with a piezo sound fairly neutral, without character or depth It will use scholarly settings using a preamp out, because the guitar has no preamp (suddenly, the violin is preserved and guitarist poura choose preamp). Access to the battery is not practical to force loosen the strings.

OVERALL OPINION

For three years I tried to convince myself that this was good guitar, a guitar maker, and not least the saw and took the guitar. Well, every time I was putting in the cupboard then to play with my Alhambra 5P € 500 or my godin nylon acoustic sounded even stronger than lowden.

in the end, I sold it, and I do not regret it (I feel even released), it is a beautiful guitar made of wood, the finish is neat, but it does not ring!
council to look on the side of models after 2003, hoping that the changes will be noticeable by GEORGE LOWDEN.
