The 35 Series
George Lowden:
“The 35 Series is for the serious player who can appreciate a whole new world of subtle tone colours and dynamic range. “What can I say about the 35 series! The longer I go on, the more I love them for their slightly understated beauty, their subtle use of figured and beautiful woods, not to mention their superb tonal definition and separation.”
This is the 35 version of the 32 and 25 models having the same warmth and focused projection. But because of the the extra definition of the AAAA grade soundboard wood, there is extra clarity and class in the tone. The O is deep, very resonant and has lots of overtones, the F has a more obvious focus and projection, while the S with either Adirondack or a sitka spruce top is superb as a pickers guitar.

Ebony
Ebony 是一種密度非常緊緻，體重極具份量，手感光滑的木質，與眾所公認木質堅硬的Maple相近。而已Ebony 來製作木結他的側背板，(Tonewood），外觀是深色為主，蘊藏著與Rosewood 接近的天然油成份，使製琴師用最少的加工，來製作濃厚原味感覺的木結他。柔合了Maple 和 Rosewood 的木質特性，Ebony 硬度特性有利於泛音突出分明，基礎音質紮實有力，提供了非常靈敏的明亮、活潑和清脆的起音以及平滑的延音。
Alpine Spruce
阿爾卑斯山雲衫 - Alpine Spruce 所生長區域，都位處於海拔1000米以上的高山位置，所在的氣候都是乾燥環境，漫長而寒冷的日子非常漫長，適合成長的時間，亦每年只有約100天，生長速度十分緩慢。而用來製作弦樂或木結他所用的Alpine Spruce，所需要育成時間更達100年以上。
而在眾多雲衫類別上，Alpine Spruce 是傳統意大利樂器，所用來製作小提琴、結他的重要素材。份量輕盈而發聲傳播能力極佳，音色天然彈性。
