Lowden O-20 Mahogany & Spruce

The Lowden O-20 is part of George Lowden’s iconic Original Series, the range that launched Lowden Guitars in 1976 and set the blueprint for their uncompromising craftsmanship. Built on the classic O-body, this model represents the first and purest expression of the Lowden design philosophy—deep resonance, rich overtones, and superb dynamic response.

Featuring a Sitka Spruce soundboard paired with Mahogany back and sides, the O-20 delivers exceptional clarity, warmth, and note separation. George Lowden himself notes that Sitka brings “extra clarity and string definition,” making this model an excellent choice for both flat-picking and fingerstyle players who want articulation without sacrificing Lowden’s signature depth.

With hand-voiced top bracing, premium tonewoods, and master-grade construction throughout, the O-20 is an inspiring, stage-worthy acoustic that embodies the heritage of the Lowden name.
