Having owned a couple of Lowden guitars over the years,  I have always been impressed with the build quality. I had an F series model with a German spruce top and quilted back/sides that was an absolute powerhouse.  If these guys start building that F size with a more ergonomic neck, I'd check them out.
My Taylor Grand Auditoriums:

1997 Cujo14 - old growth cedar/black walnut
2014 K24e - master grade koa
2018 Custom GA - bear claw sitka spruce/mahogany
2019 614 - torrified sitka spruce/flamed maple
2020 714 - lutz spruce/rosewood

Just saw this article today, too! Hope I can get a closeup look at one before too long. Somewhat ironic to me given that he played that tiny Martin throughout the beginnings of his career, but very cool nonetheless.

That is an interesting Wee guitar, quite small in size.  I never found the dimensions of it.  Do you know what they are?

Just a wee bit smaller than a GS Mini.  Looks like a pretty nice guitar.  Nice wood combination, curious to hear what you think of it.

I only considered a few of the specs and thought that too. Your impressions will be nice to hear, zeebow.
