Sheeran by Lowden S-04 Small Electro Acoustic, Figured Walnut/Spruce Overview
Lowden makes bespoke, high-end guitars in Ireland using the best materials and real craftsmanship to create guitars of exceptional quality. The ever-popular Ed Sheeran has teamed up with Lowden to make a new line of top-quality guitars, Sheeran by Lowden, which features 8 individual models with Lowden S Series and W Series body sizes, both of which have been used by Ed Sheeran on tour.
The S Series models have the popular Lowden S (small) body, making it great for travelling, taking between gigs, and any time you just want to pick up and play. Despite its smaller size, it produces a deep voice and clear projection and is ideal for singer-songwriters as the sound works well with vocals.
The Sheeran by Lowden S-04 has a 5-piece Figured Walnut body which delivers a warm tone with good sustain, as well as providing an eye-catching look thanks to its striking grain pattern. It has Lowden A-Frame bracing, and the top is made from Sitka Spruce, which delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation, and is great for various playing styles, from fingerpicking to strumming. All the tonewoods used in this range are carefully selected from naturally felled trees, while another is planted in its place to make it sustainable.
The neck is made from mahogany which adds to the warmth and sustain of the body, is topped with a durable 20-fret ebony fretboard, as well as an ebony bridge. The nut and saddle are made from TUSQ, which produces notes that have more sustain with a clearer and sharper tone, as well as lasting longer and being more reliable than bone nuts.
The S-04 is completed with chrome tuners, Lowden 12-53 strings, a natural finish and a gig bag so you’re ready to take it anywhere.
