Martin LX1 Ed Sheeran Signature Guitar Divide Model Left Handed

The LX1 Ed Sheeran 3 is the third Signature Martin guitar that he's had to commemorate the release of yet another amazing album. Ed Sheeran built his career on a similar Martin LX1 guitar just like this new Divide model.

Small And Sturdy

The LX1 is a travel-size guitar which means it's great for when you're just starting out and learning to play or if you want a fantastic gig-worthy guitar that doesn't take up too much space on the train. It's got a Fishman Sonitone pickup on-board so that you can plug directly into a PA system at gigs or plug into a looper pedal just like Ed does.

The Spruce top gives the guitar a bright and clear tone and when matched up with the HPL back and sides you get a sturdy guitar that would you could take on the road. Especially with the handly travel gig bag that it comes with.

Divide

Ed Sheeran's third album has been an absolute smash-hit on the charts and this guitar follows suit. It's got the blue division sign inlays in the fretboard and the vivid blue 'divide' headstock inlay.

Here's what Martin say about the LX1 Ed Sheeran 3 'Divide' Model
After selling millions of records and taking a year-long creative hiatus, Ed Sheeran has re-emerged in 2017 with a new chart-busting album and his latest Martin Custom model, the Ed Sheeran ÷ Signature Edition. Built upon Ed’s love of the LX1E LITTLE MARTIN, and continuing with his mathematical themed album cover art, the “Ed Sheeran 3” forms a trilogy of signature guitars that have supported Ed along his soaring career path to pop stardom.

Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top etched with Ed’s album art and a blue soundhole rosette to match, the Ed Sheeran ÷ Signature Edition is constructed with mahogany HPL back and sides and sports blue ÷ symbols across the fingerboard and headstock. Equipped with a Custom interior label, Fishman Sonitone electronics and a gig bag, this little Martin with a big sound is ready to hit the stage, just as Ed intended.
