Sheeran by Lowden W Series W04 Electro Acoustic Guitar

HISTORY OF LOWDEN 

Made in Northern Ireland

As an instrument is personal to both player and maker, the guitar has a way of bringing the two together with sometimes surprising results.

Being a small, family-run business has allowed George Lowden to enjoy personal friendships with those who play his guitars, listening to their feedback to further his designs.

When Ed told Gary Lightbody (front man for Irish band Snow Patrol) that he wanted a Lowden guitar, Gary gave him his own original Lowden – an authentic Bushmills® from 2012 which Ed used to write five songs for his number one album ‘X’ (Multiply).

Gary asked George if he would make a guitar for him to give Ed as a present. George developed a unique small guitar for Ed that later became a new model of Lowden Guitars – ‘The Wee Lowden’.

George and Ed’s friendship developed further from their shared dream to give young, aspiring players access to a quality guitar; encouraging them to learn, progress and create music.

From here,
Sheeran by Lowden was born.

THE W-SERIES

Ed helped George design the W Series because that’s the model where it all started (or, ‘that where the story began). Based on Ed’s first custom Lowden - a body shape designed for him now called the Wee Lowden (WL) - these instruments’ compact construction is ideal for young beginners and professionals alike. They’re also available with a wide selection of tonewoods and most with onboard LR Baggs electronics.

Whether in your hands or onstage with Ed, the W04 is our top of the range, making an unforgettable statement tonally and aesthetically.

A pro package pairs beautiful Walnut back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, ensuring a top of range harmonically rich sound that will only improve with age. Every piece of Figured Walnut is completely unique, just like you are. The show-ready look complements the LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup system's show-ready sound for a one of a kind guitar that stands out from the rest.

W04: your all around stunner, when it’s time to go PRO.
