Lowden Guitars
Lowden Guitars are built in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland — the work of George Lowden, who turned professional in 1974 and has spent fifty years refining a voice unlike anything else in the acoustic world: shimmering, harmonically layered, with a long singing sustain. Much of that character traces to choices George arrived at early — his "dolphin" strut profiles and A-frame bracing, a five-piece neck, a soundbox designed from the physics up rather than after the American dreadnought — and the result is a guitar players recognise instantly. Lowden was fingerstyle shorthand long before Ed Sheeran carried one onto arena stages; Pierre Bensusan, Alex de Grassi, Richard Thompson, and Paul Brady are among those who've made a Lowden their own. Since 2004 it has been a family firm, with George's sons now in the workshop.
Heartbreaker Guitars
Heartbreaker Guitars has operated in Las Vegas, Nevada for over a decade, focused on high-end acoustics — Lowden, Bourgeois, Santa Cruz, Furch, Huss & Dalton, McPherson, and Rick Turner among the regular catalog. The 2,600-square-foot showroom is appointment-based. Each listing shows the actual serial-specific guitar photographed in-house, and every shipped instrument receives a 30-point inspection and setup from the in-house tech before it leaves. The back of the space — the Heartbreaker Lounge — has a functional stage for in-store performances and demos.
