$7,500 · FOR-TRADE: Lowden FMc-35 Alpine Spruce/Cocobolo Special Edition NAMM 2019.

Lowden FMc-35 in Cocobolo/Alpine Spruce is a custom build by Lowden for the NAMM show in 2019, The AAAA Alpine Spruce top is a custom order on this guitar and is usually only available with the 50 series. The AAAA Cocobolo back and sides on this one are stunning, plus it also has a cutaway. You may never see another one like it. This guitar is an acoustic designed to be a veritable Swiss Army knife and is probably the most versatile of the entire Lowden range. The shallow body of the guitar just feels so great in your arms - and has a very comfortable low profile neck and 43.5mm nut width - without sacrificing any tone, it has an exceptionally focused voice. A lead Guitar that night-shifts in fingerstyle, strumming, fingerpicking, and rhythm... whatever you throw at it, it's got you covered. This is one you have to play yourself to truly understand just how good it is. It has a K and K Pure Mini, professionally installed, a Lowden factory strap button, a Lowden custom hardshell case, and a Lowden oversized factory strap pin (should you ever wish to remove the pickup) also comes with the Lowden Provenance, and the original bill of sale from Bluedog Guitars in Vancouver, Canada. The guitar was $10,200 (Plus Taxes)when new in March of 2019 and is in almost unmarked condition. I would rate it as mint, but the highest rating I give any guitar is excellent. Today the same guitar would be closer to $14k. The video is the actual guitar. Looking to trade for a similar-value Electric Archtop Jazz Guitar.
