Here we have a rare preowned George Lowden F-Series “Lucky Strike” Limited Edition guitar. This is #4 of only 10 ever made. The key feature of this model is the exceptional “Lucky Strike” Redwood Top (see story below) which is paired with extremely old Brazilian Rosewood for robust, round tones that are full and deeply resonant. The Brazilian is reclaimed and the mahogany neck is from old Church Pews as well, making this entire guitar as ‘green’ as it is wonderful sounding. Hand written on the back of the headstock is ‘Lucky Strike’ indicating that all the woods here are from George Lowden’s reserve stash of his very best tonewoods. A rare and special sounding Lowden for sure.
From the Lowden Website: ” ….. using George’s last reserved soundboard sets from the famous ‘Lucky Strike’ Log . This was a ‘fall down’ (ie. not felled) log of exceptional quality from Humbolt County. Some say it was struck by lightening! It was given its name by the specialist redwood supplier Alicia Carter . She and her husband (who was himself a luthier) hunted the forests for undiscovered ‘fall down’ logs. They would then apply to the US authorities for permission to use them – this permission was not always granted . But whenever they did get permission, they would go into the forest and cut the log ‘in situ’. Often they gave the log a name according to the nature of what they found when it was cut – The Lucky Strike log was so named because every single soundboard cut from this log was of exceptional quality – the grain of the redwood is superb. The Brazilian Rosewood we use is reclaimed wood, as is our special neckwood from ‘Church Pew Mahogany’. The sound is very well balanced and piano-like. It is very loud, very clear and has loads of sustain – we counted 25 seconds!”

I can’t imagine a guitar offering more tone for the buck in our shop at this time. Lowden no longer makes the 10 series so it’s hard to find this model.

In the summer of 1961, at the age of ten, George began what was to be a lifelong pursuit to build guitars, which would inspire players with their sound, feel and looks. “My friend Alan French and I made two guitars” with the help of his dad, who was a boat builder in Groomsport, County Down. The “guitars” had fishing line for strings, bent over nails for frets, and a square soundbox!!” – George Lowden “I learned everything the hard way. I had no one to teach me how to avoid the obvious pitfalls. I tried new shapes, bracing designs and many other ideas and gradually emerged from the ‘hard school’ of self taught guitar making.” – George Lowden.
We are proud to represent both George Lowden’s personally crafted guitars and his new George Lowden small production factory in Ireland. George has parted from Avalon and is now producing small numbers of the highest quality instruments without compromise.
