Anyone own one of these (basically a 3/4 size LG).
 I lusted after one when they were first issued but couldn’t find anything in this part of the world, on the odd occasion I’ve seen one for sale in the past I didn’t have any funds available.
Do they still exist ?

    Have you tried Alice's Restaurant? Apparently you can get anything you want there (excepting Alice) =) 

    Seriously, no sorry - I've never heard of these

    I tried one years ago. As I recall it had a super narrow nut, like 1 5/8. Couldn’t get past that to have any other opinion. 
    Is it the short scale that interests you? Or the 3/4 body?

    Looks like they're not in production any more.

    I used to have an original 50s one. Such a sweet sounding little guitar but neck too small to be practically usable. Apparently they're popular Nashville tuning guitars.

    It was a combination of the short scale & small body that appealed at the time, nut width might be a problem these days.
     All this talk or wee Lowdens & Sheerens resurrected the memory.
