I haven't set eyes on an Echo Ranger for years, my sister had a 12
string one. I have a washburn ea26, I've had it since 1998 I used to
play straight through my PA. I've got an old kit built guitar that I
pulled out of a skip. It's an arched top F holes, I keep it tuned open
for playing slide. A vox bass and a mandoline. No electrics at the
moment. I've had a couple of Les Pauls the little studio ones, and an
explorer and a V. I'd like an es135 but I can't afford one.

I play with a guitar (a subtle distinction), a Lowden S12, not gigged
since I was at school.

No dot markers? 
A good Irish guitar ;)
What made you choose a Lowden? I like Lowdens but a little to much
work to play for me though (nothing I couldn't get used to), I play
10s and I haven't met a Lowden strung under 12s, so I've never played
one set up how I like it. The sound and tone at about 20 feet away is
brilliant, Lowden listeners hear a much better sound than Lowden
players do. It's a shame too, if you buy one from new today, you
probably won't live long enough to hear it at it's best.
My mate's late Brother had two Lowdens, given to him by George
himself. He left them to his ex wife in his will, the guy died through
drink and he hadn't amended his will over the seperated years. So the
ex got the guitars and she sure won't notice the tone.

I have an EA26 Washburn and I'm having it buried with me, unless they
can pry if from my cold dead hands..

yes, that is the sort of thing, they make a fine guitar in Ireland!

> What made you choose a Lowden?

went in the shop with thoughts of a small Martin, changed my mind when
I picked it up and had a play

mine is set up for 12s, but then again I had 11s on my Telecaster, so
it wasn't a big change for me.

mine is of mid 90s manufacture, and sounds great already (though
frankly rather wasted on me ;o)
