Wann und wo wurde meine George Lowden S22 gebaut?
ERA: 1985-1989
SHAPE OF LABEL: oval
COLOUR OF LABEL: cream with green edge. New Lowden logo.
SERIAL NUMBERS: (re-started ) 0001- 1306
ORIGIN: Balloo Ind. Est. workshops, Bangor, Co Down, N.Ireland
1985 As a result of the rampant fashion of this era for all things electronic in music, sales of acoustic instruments slumped worldwide. The owners of the Japanese factory decided to consolidate by closing their workshops and moving production of Lowden guitars to a larger factory where other brands were made. George was concerned about this proposal and decided to try setting up a new factory in Ireland. He managed to rent an empty shell of a building in Balloo Industrial Estate, Bangor, Co. Down and began to employ and train new craftsmen from scratch.
Lowden Guitars of this period between late 1985 and November 1988, were labelled with a slightly smaller version of the oval label.
