AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
F-12
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
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.
