The Lowden O-23C is a stunning jumbo acoustic guitar from the renowned Original Series, handcrafted in Northern Ireland by master luthier George Lowden and his team. This model combines timeless elegance with exceptional tonal depth, making it a favorite among discerning players who seek warmth, clarity, and impressive projection in a large-bodied instrument.

The O-23C features a solid Red Cedar top that delivers a rich, sweet, and responsive voice with smooth overtones and excellent dynamic range. Paired with solid Walnut back and sides, the guitar produces a warm, woody character reminiscent of vintage rosewood instruments—yet with a drier, more focused clarity, articulate mids, and surprisingly tight, defined bass response for its generous jumbo body size. The result is a complex, balanced tone that remains open and resonant without ever becoming boomy or muddy.

The iconic "O" body shape provides maximum volume and low-end presence while retaining the lightweight feel and playing comfort Lowden guitars are famous for. A Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, and the Lowden bracing pattern enhances responsiveness and structural integrity.

Premium appointments include:

• 5-piece Mahogany/Rosewood neck with Lowden's comfortable GL Standard profile
• Ebony fingerboard and Rosewood bridge
• 1¾" (45mm) nut width for effortless fingerstyle and chord work
• 25½" (650mm) scale length
• Gotoh SG381 gold tuners with ebony buttons for precise tuning stability

Whether you're strumming chords, fingerpicking intricate lines, or performing on stage, the Lowden O-23C delivers big, warm, open sound with remarkable balance and touch sensitivity. It's an inspiring, professional-grade instrument that looks as breathtaking as it sounds—perfect for players who demand the very best in craftsmanship, tone, and playability.

Includes a high-quality hardshell case. Handmade excellence from Lowden Guitars.
