I took my Gibson and Guild for an insurance valuation three years ago. It was an expensive visit as I fell in love with an F32 and could not leave without it. My wife was with me and she reckoned that it was better to have this new love close at hand than have me sneaking off for snatched liaisons in a music shop in Perth.

So, the Lowden and Lorna both share the stage with me at times and it as modern relationships go, it seems to work.

Re the previous comments. It is true that there are guitarists who love their Guilds or Martins and others that will love a Lowden - vive la difference.
