Curious. I think of Lowden as "ringing, with rich harmonics, bell-like". Certainly neither jangly or bright, nor woody or muddy.

For woody, try a good tailpiece acoustic. Maybe a Hagstrom J-45 (tailpiece version) or any of the gipsy-jazz "petit-bouche" copies around at the moment. Designed to let you hear every note that Django played, so by defintion definition is what they are all about.
