Lowden S-50 Royal Ebony & Sinker Redwood

The Lowden S-50 Royal Ebony & Sinker Redwood is a remarkable small-bodied acoustic that delivers far more power than its size suggests. Unlike many compact guitars that can sound boxy, the Lowden S model is known for its exceptional tonal quality, impressive volume, and a bass response that feels almost unreal for a smaller instrument.

In fact, the Lowden “S” may be the loudest of all Lowden models, designed and braced with a bass-biased focus to maximise depth, sustain, and projection. The result is a guitar that feels rich, open, and incredibly alive in the hands.

This S-50 pairs a Sinker Redwood soundboard with the striking beauty of Royal Ebony back and sides, creating a voice that is responsive, resonant, and luxurious in character. Comfort features like the lower bout bevel enhance playability, while refined appointments such as an abalone and timber rosette, extended bound fingerboard, and handcrafted mitred purfling reflect the high-end craftsmanship expected from Lowden’s top-tier builds.
