I thought I would post THIS I have no affiliation with the auction, but it is a damn fine guitar. Lowden's walnut/cedar combos are incredible. |

| Lowden are nice guitars, very playable and well-built. The only thing I didn't like was the satin finish on them..but that's me... |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Yeah, different flavors, giuseppe. Personally, I'm back to getting used to gloss after nothing but satin. Now I'm having a hard time choosing which I like best. The gloss is nice but I really love the natural satin feel. |

I don't really 'know' the seller, but we have corresponded. He has sold some really fine guitars over the last ten years on the Harmony Central bulletin board. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | On the way to the tour in May, Jerome Tom and I stopped in a shop and I played a 00 sized Collings. It was WONDERFUL.
Unfortunately I was wearing some tight jeans that day and I wasn't quite able to get my credit card out of my pocket. I'm gonna go back some wearing baggy pants and buy that sucker.

Dave Check out their small bodied C10 first! Man what a nice sounding guitar. And if you can find it in a varish finish --- sublime.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Yep....I was surprised it lasted as long as it did based on your comments. I saw where he was originally offering it on Craiglist and a few others about 3-6 months ago for over $3000. |
