Late 1990's LSE-1 Mahogany and Spruce second hand.

A turn of the century piece from The Lowden Guitar Company's Newtownards period. The usual terrific quality of woodworking is present in the mahogany and spruce construction with some really lovely rosewood binding and an elegant Venetian cutaway. The instrument is generally in pretty good condition with the only notable exception being some unexpectedly heavy marking on the top - A chastening reminder that you should never lend your cherished instrument to friends for the evening unless you really trust them. Aside from that, the guitar plays beautifully and sounds superb and the Fishman pickup is in fine fettle with 2 concentric knobs for controlling the volume and tone. Overall a lovely buy for someone looking for a professional quality gigable guitar at a very reasonable price.
