Quite a classic at Lowden's.

The first O model (named "L" at that time) was a Sitka/Rosewood guitar in 1976 (label reads #1 of the new series)!

You won't be disappointed.

I have been playing a S.Yairi built Sitka/ Rosewood L34 (would sit today somewhere between a O32 and a 50 with Inlay package 2) for 40 years now.
The guitar is still sounding great, easy to play, brilliant in DADGAD and Drop D.
Only needed a luthier once in its life to fix a buzz on the 6th string.
I also own a 2015 nylon string S32J in the same wood combo and the guitar's still improving each day
EIR/SS is a staple at many other makes by the way...
