2010s WL-22 MA/RC

Lowden / WL-22 MA/RC

Whether you’re practicing at home, jamming with friends, or performing on a small stage,
haven’t you ever found yourself thinking, “I wish I had a guitar that’s easy to carry and play”? While

compact guitars may be lightweight and convenient, they often leave something to be desired in terms of volume and resonance. They may have
warmth, but the sound tends to be subdued, getting lost in an ensemble.
As a result, you might find yourself resigning to the idea that “perhaps I just can’t get a satisfying sound without a guitar with a larger body.”

The Lowden WL-22 MA/RC is a guitar that brilliantly overturns that assumption.
Lowden was founded by George Lowden—who began building guitars as a boy and remains active today as a handcrafted guitar maker—to pursue and realize his vision.

The WL series can be seen as the culmination of those ideas in a compact guitar.

Although the WL is the smallest model in the Lowden lineup, its resonance rivals even that of a full-sized Dreadnought.
The power and clarity of the sound emanating from such a compact body will leave anyone in disbelief.

Cedar is used for the top.
Cedar is typically perceived as “soft and warm, but prone to having its tonal contours get lost.”
However, perhaps due to its uniquely designed bracing and a five-piece neck construction that combines strength and beauty, the WL-22 achieves a surprisingly clear tone while retaining the softness of cedar.

The coexistence of warmth
and clarity—without contradiction—and a sound that changes its character the more you play it are truly hallmarks of Lowden.

Furthermore, the elegant and refined design, reminiscent of traditional European craftsmanship, satisfies not only the joy of playing but also the joy of ownership.
Though compact, it exudes a dignified presence, and the moment you hold it, you’ll feel an urge to “express your music in a new way.”

This WL-22 MA/RC excels not only for daily practice and as a travel companion but also for live performances on
small stages and in the recording studio. Whether you’re taking a simple
singer-songwriter approach or playing complex fingerpicking, this guitar will complement your voice and expression, leading you to even greater emotional impact.

Don’t let its small size be an excuse—turn it into an asset instead.
The WL-22 MA/RC is a guitar that redefines what a guitar can be.
