Designed and built by George Lowden and his team at Lowden Guitars, this extraordinary acoustic guitar is a fusion of craftsmanship and Irish folklore.
Known worldwide for creating fine handmade acoustic guitars, Lowden Guitars has poured their expertise and passion into this one-of-a-kind collectors piece that carries the spirit of Irish legend Fionn Mac Cumhaill in every note.
The Giant's Causeway, with its striking hexagonal basalt columns, has captivated imaginations for centuries. According to the legend, these stones were Fionn Mac Cumhaill's handiwork, crafted in a moment of unmatched determination.
This guitar pays homage to that iconic landscape featuring an inlay designed and inlayed by Lowden Guitars' own Will Baugh. The inlay features a varied palette of woods, each with its own story: 5000 year old Bog Oak, Myrtle, Oak reclaimed from Bushmills whisky barrels. The inlay also uses Australian She Oak and figured Mahogany.
This guitar is 1 of 1. A true collector's item, it embodies rarity, heritage, and artistry. To own the ‘McCool’ is to hold a piece of Ireland's soul, rendered timeless through music and design.
While born from Irish folklore, the ‘McCool’ Guitar speaks to a universal audience.
Whether you're a musician, a collector, or a lover of fine craftsmanship, this instrument transcends borders.
Its striking design and unparalleled sound inspire players and audiences alike, creating a legacy as enduring as the Causeway itself.

In 2004 George decided that a series of guitars similar to the original series but with a couple of upgrades would be great to offer to the players who wanted the best tuners you can get on the one hand, but also had a little more detailing in the appointments in general. So the 35 series was born.

The Lowden Jazz is fitted with an board pickup as standard. The soundbox is voiced for a really great acoustic response, and at the same time stiff enough to prevent the whole guitar from overreacting when played loud through a sound system.
