Hi ewh2,
I know it is kind of superficial but I'm not too keen on the look of walnut. But it is good to hear your opinion. It is making me think more about spruce. Since a lot of artists use it. Mike Dawes, Andy McKee and Don Ross too.
I would ask them but the response from Lowden from my experience is quite slow and not informative enough for my liking. (not to slander them, just stating my observations. If I didn't like the company overall I wouldn't be buying their anniversary guitar :P I would give them the benefit of doubt and accredit it to their busy schedule). Their recommendation was sitka with Honduran rosewood. Though there wasn't any mention of tone or qualities.
