The Bowman is Auden's reading of the classic orchestra model, fine-tuned with tapered sides that give it far more front-end presence than the body size suggests. In Artist trim it pairs a solid spruce top with rosewood back and sides for a bright, articulate voice with plenty of headroom, and the cutaway opens up the upper frets for players who work above the body join. The Supernatural Digital Sensor system handles amplification, translating the guitar honestly rather than colouring it. Its comfortable playing position has long made the Bowman a favourite among electric players moving across to acoustic, with enough definition to hold its own in a band.
Auden work through a network of luthiers across the UK, America and China, pairing timbers sourced worldwide with Swiss-made electronics — an international, bench-grade approach that puts genuinely hand-built guitars within reach.
