S-23

Lowden S-23 'Red Cedar / Walnut' Acoustic Guitar

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Includes Hardshell Case

The Lowden S-23 is a timeless classic, offering an intimate and immersive playing experience. Featuring a combination of medium-hard AAA Walnut back and sides with a carefully selected Red Cedar top, this guitar delivers a rich, Celtic-infused sound that invites players to keep coming back for more. As the first small-bodied steel-string guitar designed by George Lowden in 1976, the S-23 has maintained its classic design and exceptional sound for over 45 years, making it a standout in the Original Series.

The S-23 is renowned for its warm, loud, and well-balanced tone, with a voicing that accentuates the bass and provides excellent clarity in the treble range. Its 5-piece Mahogany and Rosewood neck, along with an Ebony fretboard and Rosewood bridge, offer exceptional playability and stability. The maple bindings and multi-wood top purfling add an elegant touch to this all-wood design, finished with a full satin finish for a refined, smooth look and feel. The guitar comes with a Lowden hardshell case for protection and convenience.

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!
