Body - AAAA-grade woods
-------------------------------------
* F series with cutaway
* Adirondack top (50 series, best available)
* Honduras rosewood back and sides (50 series, straight grained)
* Standard satin finish
* No pick guard
* Ebony Laskin bevel
* Ebony bridge (you never see this on a Lowden)
* 60 mm string spacing (same as Pierre Bensusan)
* Abalone rosette with ebony/maple/ebony trim. (This design would be slightly wider than a rosette on a Pierre Bensusan. Not a wood-dominant rosette like you see on most 50 series.)
* Ebony body binding with contrasting maple and ebony trim.
* Ebony back strip with contrasting maple and ebony trim.
## small cosmetic blemish on the back bottom edge (approx. 5mm size)
Neck & Headstock
-------------------------------------
* Figured maple neck
* Ebony fretboard
* No fretboard inlays
* Bookmatched ebony front and back headstock overlay
* Standard abalone logo
* 46 mm nut width (1 mm wider than Bensusan)
* Standard Lowden 650 mm scale
* Ebony neck binding with contrasting maple inlay (like Pierre Bensusan)
* Extended curved fingerboard end (like Pierre Bensusan)
* Standard 35-series Gotoh 510 tuners, gold body with black ebony knobs
* Center neck seam with ebony divider.
Pictures available but only for serious enquirers. Original purchase price was over USD8600 back in 2012. Will sell for USD7400.
The only partial trade I will consider is for a fully working Roland RE-201 and Binson Echorec.
Thank you all
