Pre Loved Lowden 010C Electro Acoustic 1999 inc Hard Case

This pre loved Lowden 010C Electro Acoustic is a finely crafted Irish-built guitar that reflects George Lowden’s renowned attention to detail, tonal balance and responsive feel. Built in 1999, serial number 9955 comes from a highly respected period in Lowden production, celebrated for combining traditional hand-building techniques with rich, articulate acoustic character. It has been well played and has several dings and marks (pictured) but these are purely cosmetic and the guitar functions as intended.

The 010C features a compact concert-sized body with a comfortable cutaway design, making it equally suited to fingerstyle playing and expressive lead work higher up the neck. Its smaller body shape offers excellent clarity and note definition while still producing impressive warmth and projection.

Typical appointments for the model include a solid top paired with high-quality back and sides, delivering a voice that is open, dynamic and beautifully balanced across the frequency range. Lowden guitars from this era are particularly admired for their complex overtones, piano-like sustain and highly responsive touch sensitivity.

The slim satin-finished neck provides a smooth, natural playing experience, while the handcrafted bracing design helps the instrument resonate freely with remarkable depth and articulation. The onboard electronics make it ideal for both studio recording and live performance, preserving the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with excellent clarity.

Visually, the 010C carries the understated elegance Lowden is known for, with clean lines, premium tonewoods and tasteful detailing that allow the craftsmanship to speak for itself. Instruments from the late 1990s are especially sought after for their mature tonal character and boutique-level build quality.

Overall, the 1999 Lowden 010C Electro Acoustic is a refined and inspiring instrument, prized for its warm, expressive sound, exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
