AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Lowden F-12 Original Series offers a refined take on the classic F-style body, balancing the rich heritage of Lowden’s luthiery with modern versatility. Featuring a Sitka spruce soundboard and Indian Rosewood back and sides, the F-12 delivers clear, articulate highs, a warm low-end, and superb dynamic responsiveness. Whether you’re playing bluegrass runs, intricate fingerpicking, or lush Celtic strumming, this guitar adapts beautifully to a wide range of styles.
The 3-piece bolt-on mahogany neck enhances vibration transfer while offering a slightly reduced stiffness for a more organic feel. Aesthetically, the F-12 is elegantly appointed with cherry binding, maple-rocklite-mahogany purflings, and gold Gotoh tuners with ebony buttons. With its 650mm scale length and Lowden’s signature build quality, this guitar is a premium choice for players seeking nuanced tone and impeccable craftsmanship.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
