About Lowden Guitars
Lowden Guitars come from Downpatrick, Northern Ireland — a small town and a fifty-year obsession. George Lowden started building in 1974 and spent decades refining a voice that sounds like nothing else in the acoustic world: shimmering, layered, with sustain that seems to keep going long after a chord should have settled. Lowden became the fingerstyle player's shorthand long before Ed Sheeran put one on every stage; Pierre Bensusan, Eric Roche, and Alex de Grassi all spoke about Lowdens the way other players talk about their first car. The mystique is partly the geography, partly the sound, and entirely real.
About Essential Guitars
Essential Guitars is a by-appointment dealer in New York's Hudson Valley, founded in 2024 to deal in rare, unique, and otherwise high-quality instruments rather than a standing catalog. The selection is small, eclectic, and quick to turn over — boutique steel-string flat-tops from the likes of Bashkin, Kiso Klein, Keystone, Michaud Made, and G.R. Bear surface alongside a wider mix of archtops and other curiosities, much of it rarely seen elsewhere. Essential ships worldwide and actively buys, trades, and consigns. A curator's eye, not a showroom floor.
