Ed Sheeran has conquered popular music over the last decade. He's sold over 100 million singles, won four Grammys and even has an MBE. Now he's taking the guitar world by storm alongside Irish boutique luthiers Lowden Guitars in a dream collaboration.
Sheeran By Lowden build unique acoustics for aspiring, determined and creative musicians. Packed full of rich character and tone, the S series delivers a resonant, deep voice despite it's smaller size. The singer/songwriter regularly uses this guitar on the road and even at his huge live shows.
Small Bodyshape
This is a small body acoustic, around the most petite mid-range size available. Perfect for taking with you on the road or picking up for a quick play whenever you walk past at home. The S series produces crystal clear sound projection, ideal when paired with vocals.
Smaller-sized guitars have been used extensively since the 18th century in duets or for singer/songwriters because of the way they intertwine with the vocals.
Body and Neck
Standard specs across the range include a warm, smooth mahogany neck, an ebony fingerboard and a matching bridge, so you'll be comfortable playing for extended periods of time. You get the pick of a solid wood top and body. This particular model is made of a rich figured walnut body and midrange-sounding cedar top.
At just under a 25" scale length, the S shape is great for fast playing as the jump between frets is smaller than the average dreadnought or jumbo acoustic. That also means it's an excellent choice for smaller hands.
Environmentally Friendly
All Sheeran By Lowden guitars are built using carefully selected tonewoods to get the most out of the materials. They're only sourced from naturally felled trees. Each time a tree is used, another is planted in its stead to keep the environment happy.
The reliable TUSQ nut is a substitute for many a guitar's real bone nut and functions as well as, if not better than the regular appointment.
