LOWDEN Thomas Leeb Signature Model
For sale is this essentially a brand new Thomas Leeb Signature model from Lowden. Having recently trended toward smaller-body guitars, I'm finding this one a little too large for my current need. Bought it on a whim. Has maybe 30 minutes of light play on it, trying to get a feel for it. Simply not connecting with it. Sounds awesome - just doesn't have the "connection" I need to keep it.
Lowden is hands-down, one of the finest builders in the world, and this guitar is a prime example of their incredible workmanship. The sound glistens. The neck is somewhat smaller than you would expect on a large-body acoustic, offering much more flexibility with playing. I have added a strap button by the neck, otherwise, the guitar is in the exact shape as the day I received it. Thomas Leeb Signatures are quite hard to find - not many are made. Here's an awesome opportunity to secure one. GUITAR SPECIFICATIONS: Nut width: 1 3/4" String spacing @ bridge: 2 3/16" Scale: 25.5" Upper bout: 12" Waist: 10" Lower bout: 16 1/2" Depth @ pin: 5" Depth @ neck: 4 1/8" Back & sides: Figured Walnut Soundboard: AAAA sitka spruce Rosette: Abalone Binding Original series style (curly) maple Purfling: Sycamore, Rosewood, Mahogany Tuners: Gotoh Gold/Ebony 510 Back center seam: Maple Bridge: Rosewood Scratchplate: walnut Neck: 5 piece – Mahogany / Rosewood Headstock overlay: Indian Rosewood Strap button inlay: Figured Pear AGF PRICE: $4900 shipped/insured CONUS ADDITIONAL INFO FROM LOWDEN: Austrian guitarist Thomas Leeb first began to play Lowden guitars in the mid nineties while working closely with his good friend and mentor Eric Roche. Thomas has been playing Lowden guitars since then and it gave George great pleasure to design the Thomas Leeb Signature model. This guitar has been designed to give a deep, not overly heavy, but free bass response and yet with very full ‘fat’ trebles right up the neck. The figured Walnut back and sides, Sitka Spruce soundboard and custom Thomas Leeb Walnut scratchplate combine with our ‘O’ soundbox geometry to make a superbly responsive guitar which is essential for Thomas to able to give full expression to his multi dimensional music compositions. We believe that Thomas is one of the worlds most innovative and musical players of today and are particularly proud that he plays our guitars - not to mention helping us to demonstrate their capabilities! And so it is especially fitting that we have collaborated with him in the design of this signature model. Thomas' playing varies from highly percussive passages to the very lyrical and melodic, therefore his signature model had to be capable of responding to the wide variety of playing styles that he uses. He chose our larger 'O' body size for the complexity and bass response and Figured Walnut with a Sitka Spruce top for the extra definition and clarity that he needs. The specially designed 'scratch plate' is helpful for creating the 'snare drum' type sounds which Thomas needs for certain pieces.       ------------------- FOR SALE: Stephen Kinnaird P-1 Parlor (b&w ebony) Lowden Thomas Leeb Signature Fender Masterbuilt Strat "60's Closet Classic" Collings Baby 2H Collings 03G MR Taylor AB2 Acoustic Bass (imbuia) Last edited by EIEIO9995; 11-13-2017 at 04:23 PM. |
