Discover the stage-ready acoustic guitar inspired by Ed Sheeran.
The Sheeran by Lowden S03 cutaway concert acoustic-electric guitar offers an exceptional playing experience, perfectly suited for both fingerstylists and flatpickers. Inspired by Ed Sheeran's fluid musical style and versatile performance needs, this guitar features a warm, richly detailed tone that echoes the artist's iconic sound. The comfortable 24.8" scale length, along with a thoughtfully designed Soundbox Bevel and a Venetian cutaway, ensures complete access to the ebony fingerboard, facilitating easy playability up to the highest frets. When amplified, the LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup system projects the guitar's natural acoustic sound with outstanding clarity and fidelity, capturing the dynamic nuances of every performance.
Resonant Tonewoods Produce a Warm, Nuanced Voice
Like Sheeran's own Lowdens, the S03 uses resonant tonewoods selected for their acoustic properties. The cedar top provides articulate highs and focused midrange, while five-piece Indian rosewood back and sides add depth, richness and clarity. Together, these tonewoods give you a balanced, highly responsive voice equally suited to fingerstyle or flatpicking.
Cutaway and Short Scale Offer Unimpeded Playability
The S03's cutaway gives you full access to higher frets, while its 24 4⁄5" scale length reduces string tension for easier bends and fretting. An ebony fingerboard and mahogany neck provide a smooth playing surface. These features make the S03 ideal for intricate fingerstyle or navigating Sheeran's chord voicings and rhythms. Playability this effortless inspires your creativity.
Plug in for Natural Tone in Live Performance
When it's time to take the stage, the LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup system provides your acoustic tone without alteration. Blended piezo and condenser microphones capture the S03's warm, nuanced voice. Onboard EQ lets you shape the tone to your liking and venue's acoustics. Whether at an open mic or arena show, this simple yet comprehensive electronics package gives you acoustic-electric capability worthy of Sheeran's own live performances.
Signature Touches Honor Sheeran's Artistry
The Sheeran by Lowden S03 showcases distinctive appointments that highlight Ed Sheeran's unique style and musical artistry. His autograph graces the headstock, providing a personal touch that fans will appreciate. The Soundbox Bevel is cleverly designed to mirror the chamfered edges found on Sheeran's personal Lowden guitars, enhancing comfort and playability. The guitar is further adorned with rosewood binding, a beautifully crafted rosewood rosette, and a matching rosewood bridge, all of which elegantly complement the natural tonewoods. Finished with a hand-rubbed natural finish, the S03 allows its resonant woods to fully project their rich, vibrant tones, embodying the quality and spirit of Ed Sheeran's music.
