ACOUSTIC EXPO 2013: Eric Clapton recorded 'Reptile' and 'Pilgrim' using his Lowden O38, playing it on the live broadcast when he received a Grammy award for his hit song, 'If I could change the world'
George Lowden says, "I first made the Lowden 38 back in 1976 for a friend of mine Alastair Burke. Normally I don't use much shell inlays in my guitars but with this model I've indulged a little! Subtle use of leaf shaped abalone fingerboard inlays and soundboard purfling combine with the ideal choice of reclaimed Brazilian rosewood and a cedar top. One of my preferred choices now!"
“You would get suspended for even having a guitar”: Brian May says it was “illegal” to have a guitar at his school – but he and his friends played during lunch hour anyway
“Gibson was able to put the universe on it… the planet Mercury is here, and that is a little nod to a friend of mine”: Inspired by the stars and co-designed by the Queen guitarist, Gibson unveils exquisite Brian May SJ-200 12-String
