Lowden F-50 50th Anniversary – Alpine Spruce & Master Grade Bois de Rose

Celebrating five decades of uncompromising Irish craftsmanship, the Lowden F-50 50th Anniversary stands as a pinnacle of the 50 Series. This limited-edition masterpiece ( pairs a hand-selected Master Grade Alpine Spruce soundboard with stunning Master Grade Bois de Rose (Dalbergia maritima) back and sides.

The Alpine Spruce top delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and a crisp, articulate voice that projects with remarkable focus and sustain. Complementing it, the rare Bois de Rose — a true rosewood prized for its intricate figuring, deep chocolate tones with vibrant purple and rose highlights, and exceptional density — produces a hyper-detailed, powerful, and harmonically rich tone. Together, they create a balanced yet commanding sound: tight, responsive bass, sparkling treble, and a lush, singing midrange that blooms effortlessly under the fingers. Ideal for fingerstyle, flatpicking, or ensemble playing, this guitar excels in both intimate settings and on stage.

Beyond its extraordinary sonic qualities, the F-50 50th Anniversary is a visual triumph. The highly figured Bois de Rose exhibits a mesmerizing grain and natural luster, accentuated by premium appointments including:

• A custom 50th Anniversary inlay on the headstock
• Signature limited-edition label (signed by George and Aaron Lowden)
• Elegant figured wood and abalone rosette
• Ebony bindings and contoured armrest for supreme playing comfort
• Multi-wood purflings and refined heel-cap inlay
• Gotoh premium tuners with ebony buttons

The comfortable GL neck profile, ebony fingerboard, and Lowden’s renowned build precision ensure effortless playability across the entire fretboard.
