Lowden F-50C – Sinker Redwood Top with Tasmanian Blackwood Back & Sides

This exceptional Lowden F-50C represents the pinnacle of modern acoustic guitar craftsmanship, blending Lowden’s renowned build quality with a rare and visually stunning combination of tonewoods. The standout feature is its Master Grade Sinker Redwood soundboard — a truly one-of-a-kind top harvested from ancient redwood logs that sank centuries ago in riverbeds and were preserved underwater.

This particular top displays exquisite grain patterns and rich color variations. The result is not just visual beauty but exceptional tonal complexity: a warm, responsive voice with clarity, impressive bass depth, balanced projection, and a singing sustain that excels in both delicate fingerstyle and dynamic strumming.

The unique history of the sinker wood imparts a distinctive shimmer and character found in no other tonewood, making this guitar a collector’s piece as much as a player’s dream.

Tasmanian Blackwood Back & Sides

Complementing the top perfectly are the Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. This sustainable, visually striking wood delivers strong volume, focused midrange, and a sparkling top-end clarity that blends the warmth of mahogany with some of the richness of rosewood. The pairing creates a versatile, articulate instrument with excellent note separation, long sustain, and a balanced tonal palette ideal for a wide range of playing styles.
