George Lowden on Brazilian Rosewood
The founder of Lowden Guitars talks about the beauty of the rare and regulated species.
One of George Lowden’s favourite tonewoods, Brazilian rosewood is often seen as the material of choice for only the very best guitars. This valuable species is heavily protected and rightly so in George’s opinion. However, when used responsibly the results are often sublime.
