LOL....I was trying to explain to my wife what "guitar porn" is. Now no explanation necessary. I will just have her click on this Youtube link.

All that work and it is not for sale? I was about to hit the 'buy' button, not there!


Kidding, of course - that is well done all around, and congratulations.

Now, 1 year ago, I had never played or seen a Lowden of any kind in the flesh and bought my S35 at a used guitar shop and .......ha, ha, hooked and now I have 3! (S35, LSE1, both 1993, and a new O22.) Yesterday, I was playing through a book of tunes using the S35 - just strumming the first chord of a bar and the melody line - the nearly 25 year old S35 almost talks with some vibrato added to the melody notes. What a find! What a find! Did I say I was pleased?

Just saying this because that guitar of yours, when you have played it in, wow - it will sing! And in 25 years, I can't imagine.

Serious congratulations again!

Sounds really special. Hope you write a lot of new tunes.
I really like the satin finish(?)...looks smooth to the touch?
Enjoyed your playing and looking at your redwood Lowden.

Not to take away from your presentation, Matt, but this video of a similar guitar at The Music Emporium came up after I played your video and this is sensational in a different way:

Well, it IS beautiful. But to a guy who can afford a guitar like this, AND pay to have it photographed and videoed, I don't have much sympathy for you complaining about your "cash levels".

It is absolutely beautiful and sounds splendid! I don't use the word splendid, but it felt right describing this Lowden. Congrats!
