EleanorC, you don't say what you're using the guitar for, or what kind of market you're in (cheap 'n' cheerful, quality production-line or handmade instruments). If you like the Lowden sound (and who wouldn't, except someone with cloth ears? :-)) why not talk to George? http://www.georgelowden.com is his new website.

As well as TOTR instruments made by George himself, his guys are now producing a similar range to the 'old' Lowdens and options are available (neck shape certainly is one, and scale length may well be). Give 'em a go - nowt ventured, nowt gained.
