Hi Johnny,
Golly looks like I got a good deal on my Lowden then! Peach guitars, Braintree, Essex, must be home of good deals!I'll give GL a call, thanks for your thoughts,

Hi Richard, well I could tell the Gibson offered a totally different sound-world but it was a pretty amazing one too - totally different voice - perhaps good for when I'm picking my totally inauthentic Blues from the A roads, roundabouts and retail parks of the British 'burbs,
Actually my Lowden in open tunings I can handle much better as the open tuning hand positions don't seem to need pure whole-fist wraparound fingerboard coverage.


Guess I need one of each ;-]
And Phil- I'll find one to try, thanks!
