This Lowden Richard Thompson Signature Edition was made in 2016 and it’s in excellent structural and cosmetic condition with just a hint of fret wear. This is Lowden’s F body, which is roughly the size of dreadnought but with a more pinched in waist, a silhouette that lets the guitar sit lower in your lap and makes it easier to hold and play. Like all of Lowden’s guitars, this guitar has a rich, balanced tone that is well suited to fingerpicking but it can stand up to a robust flatpicker with no problem. The top on this guitar is AAAA Grade Red Cedar and the back and sides are Ziricote, which has some amazing figure. Includes the original hardshell case, which is in equally clean condition.
George Lowden on the Richard Thompson Signature Edition: "It has been my great pleasure to get to know Richard over the years and to enjoy his playing! At Lowden we only consider a signature model for someone who has played our guitars consistently for a long time Richard has been playing Lowden guitars for many many years and we are honored to introduce this model! Richard chose this wood combination and other specifications because of the really full-bodied loud and clear response of Ziricote and cedar.
