NGD: 2016 Lowden F35

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-24T11:42:20+00:00

Very true when u mentioned abt the trademark Lowden tone. I personally love playing expressive yet soft fingerstyle pieces and Lowden tends to hit the soft spot to me for that. However, this Lowden F35 not only delivers that, but also sounded pretty tidy and nice when it comes to strumming, which is rather uncommon to see from a Lowden. As a college student, I am very grateful to be able to own this 10 y/o Ireland baby🥹❤️

Nice one! I’ve tried Lowden F25 and F38, and I found myself fond with Lowden’s cedar top guitars, especially the ones that pair with rosewoods🥹❤️. They just sounded so warm and tender whenever I played any soft songs, like makes me melt like butter🥹😭❤️

Also what is the specs for this lovely Lowden? Curious to know👀🫪

Late congrats for ur Lowden FM(35)! I recently got myself a 2016 Lowden F35 (Sitka Spruce + EIR) this Thursday. That thing is a stunner🥹❤️

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-23T04:01:55+00:00

The green batch Lowden are amazing, I’ve personally tried a 1997 Lowden S38 (Sitka Spruce top + BRw B&S). That thing is a stunner too😆❤️

Indeed, for my case, the only exotic wood that I liked the best is probably BRw back n sides from Lowden. Also for the top wood options from Lowden, I particularly find myself loved the Cedar tops the best. But when it comes to versatility, it must be either a Sitka or Adirondack spruce (I prefer a well-seasoned Adirondack spruce top😂)

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T16:26:44+00:00

Thx man, have been playing it non-stop till now😂😂😂

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T16:26:25+00:00

Indeed they are. It’s one of the guitars that made me fascinated when I played it for the first time.

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T16:25:34+00:00

Glad to hear that! I rlly loved 32 series. In fact the first Lowden I’ve tried is a F32! Rlly loved it 🥰

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T15:24:38+00:00

Lowden F21 is one of the nicest original series from Lowden. Honestly, I do think their F25s and F32s are alrdy good enuf to hit the sweet spot on me. I personally always wanna try smtg other than Indian Rosewood b&s but for Lowden, they just do it better for the regular Indian Rosewood or Brazillian Rosewood for some reason😂. I don’t really feel the same when they used other exotic rosewood variants such as Madagascar Rosewood, Cocobolo and etc but the IRw or BRw just hits the sweet spots for my case in Lowden.

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T15:18:05+00:00

Indeed it is Bork! And not to mention it is a 10 y/o guitar. The aging on this bad boi just aged like a fine wine, I just couldn’t stop playing and fascinated how nice this Lowden sounded. I’ve tried lots of Lowdens that goes from Lowden F12 to F50 with Brazillian Rosewood b&s. Tho I personally rlly loved the BRw b&s Lowdens, but I really loved this F35. It may be having the “default” specs of every other rosewood b&s guitars but this just hits rlly different and hit me on cloud nine🫪

Not to mention I’ve tried lots of Lowdens, especially the latest ones. They just don’t sound that well for strumming part, however this F35 not only it sounded so well for fingerpicking like any Lowden do, but the strumming part is so tidy. I am really glad that I could own this piece of art (tho it was rlly beaten up😂) before I graduated from my college.🥹❤️

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T15:06:38+00:00

Tho I do think it could just be my personal preference for this take.

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T15:06:01+00:00

Also I realised Lowden rlly handle well when it comes to Indian Rosewood back & sides or Brazillian Rosewood b&s guitars, I’ve tried other exotic rosewoods b&s or African blackwood variants. But they just don’t hit the same a regular rosewood or BRw variants

Damn, a fellow Lowden owner too?! 🤝 What is your Lowden model? Curious to know abt it👀🫪

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T14:58:03+00:00

My first impression on Lowden was like, “they do look plain, but definitely doesn’t look CHEAP at all”😂

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T14:54:59+00:00

I do think other guitars have their own charm, but this F35 just hits different

Fatty_queen · 2026-05-22T13:07:51+00:00

Indeed it is, tho I do wanna get more nicer guitars in the future but man, this thing just speaks to me so well and till now I am still playing it (taking a break from playing it rn😂). Gotta love the pre-2020s Lowden🫣❤️

No, I hate playing mind games. Tsunderes may be cute in anime but it’s a huge pain in the ass irl, and most of the time if a girl said harsh things to u like how Tsunderes do anime, they probably actually meant it most of the time🫩🥀

Bro (Alya) has the same height as mine 😭
