Used Lowden Pierre Bensusan Signature

We've been fortunate to host Pierre Bensusan for several DADGAD workshops through the years (in fact, we will be welcoming him back for a masterclass at the end of November), and are now thrilled to be offering one if his fantastic signature Lowden guitars for sale. This Pierre Bensusan PB, based on Lowden's cutaway F model, was built in 2021 and features an Adirondack spruce top and Honduran rosewood back and sides displaying straight, parallel grain with lovely coloring. This guitar has a perfectly clear, articulate voice with heaps of harmonic character to it, and it's equally at home in E standard, DADGAD, open D, or whatever alternate tuning you may concoct, string gauge allowing. It's setup to play beautifully up and down the 5-piece maple and rosewood neck, and a recent light fret dress has the whole board level with no signs of wear in the fretwire. Cosmetic condition is excellent, with very little evidence of handling in the superb Lowden semi-gloss finish. Includes its original heavy-duty Ameritage hard-shell case in excellent condition.
