The Lowden S-35 in AAAA Sinker Redwood (top) and AAAA Walnut (back and sides) is an exquisite small-body acoustic guitar from Lowden's highly regarded 35 Series, handcrafted in Northern Ireland by George Lowden and his expert team. This model embodies refined elegance and intimate playability, featuring the classic S-shape—a compact, 12-fret-to-body design that delivers exceptional comfort, balanced projection, and a focused, articulate voice perfect for fingerstyle, blues, and singer-songwriter applications.

The AAAA Sinker Redwood top (salvaged old-growth redwood, prized for its density and age) brings a rare combination of warmth, clarity, and responsiveness—offering sweet, bell-like trebles, rich mids, and surprisingly robust bass for its size, with quick attack and excellent note separation. Paired with AAAA Walnut back and sides, the guitar produces a dry, woody character with focused projection, balanced tonal complexity, and a vintage-inspired depth that's reminiscent of rosewood yet distinctly clearer and more defined in the mids—avoiding any muddiness while providing impressive volume and sustain from the compact body.

The S body shape offers a cozy, intimate feel with easy access to lower positions and a lightweight, balanced design that's ideal for seated playing or extended sessions. Lowden's renowned craftsmanship shines through in every detail:

• 5-piece Mahogany/Rosewood neck with a comfortable, slim profile for effortless playability
• Ebony fingerboard with Maple binding
• 24 51/64" (630mm) scale length — a sweet spot for tension and intonation
• Figured Maple binding
• Gotoh gold tuners (with ebony buttons) for superior tuning stability
• Hand-rubbed satin or light polyurethane finish that lets the premium tonewoods breathe, resonate, and develop patina over time

This combination yields a guitar with remarkable dynamic range—soft and nuanced when played gently, yet capable of powerful, clear projection when pushed—making it an inspiring choice for players who appreciate small-body intimacy without sacrificing tonal depth or presence.

Whether for intimate performances, recording, or personal enjoyment, the Lowden S-35 AAAA Sinker Redwood/Walnut is a collector-grade masterpiece of tonewood synergy, precision craftsmanship, and timeless Lowden soul.

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