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 Tree Bone Guitars
Tree Bone Guitars is a Fredericksburg, Virginia shop built around consultation rather than checkout. Founder Mike Ognek — a Marine veteran and hobby woodworker who came to guitars later in life — runs it as a concierge operation: an appointment-only showroom, local hand delivery, guitars carried to regional shows, and one-on-one help for buyers further afield. The selection is tightly curated across price tiers, anchored on the boutique-acoustic side by Lowden and Huss & Dalton. An opinionated house blog, "Our Take," rounds out a shop that treats the best guitars as discovered, not shopped for.
