Review Lowden VX Limited Edition
 
 
 

Review by Lavo on Dec 11, 2003




Only 2oo made.It cost me £1300 in 1995 and £300 for the electro-acoustic amp.Bought it directly out of the Lowden Warehouse in Newtownards, Ireland.

 
 
  Features  
 
Nothing unique about the guitar itself... just the sound that it produces its so true(especially if you use the specialized Lowden strings).one weak point, may seem trivial, but there is a distinct difficultly in fitting new strings on to it because the pegs are very tight.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
I have played many guitars but usually only cheaper ones..£200-£400, and not one has produced a true a sound as this Lowden. I have played at small gigs and parties and it has always produced clean acoustics
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
perfect quality as you would expect from a top class guitar manufacturer. With the electro-acoustic amp from lowden also it gives no poor noise or reverb
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
very rarely needs to be retuned especially in the e a d g b e tuning...but i find that if it is tuned down anymore than a tone it loses it quite quickly
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
The only reason i chose this guitar is from word of mouth as my brother has one and it is better than i expected. It is a light mahogany based acoustic with almost perfect sound quality and playability
