“It offers fans, collectors, and musicians a piece of musical history”: Sheeran By Lowden unveils its first-ever hand-built acoustic, and it is an exact replica of Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour stage guitar

The Stadium Edition is limited to 150 units worldwide, features a “stadium-voiced” soundboard, comes signed by Sheeran and George Lowden, and is a $4,500 collector's item

Sheeran By Lowden Stadium Edition

Sheeran By Lowden has unveiled the ultimate acoustic guitar for Ed Sheeran super fans. It’s called the Stadium Edition, and if it looks familiar that is because it is a forensic replica of the pop superstar’s stage guitar from his recent Mathematics Tour.

Having hitherto specialised in mid-priced and affordable acoustics, the Stadium Edition is Sheeran By Lowden’s first all hand-built guitar, sharing all the top-shelf appointments and attention to detail we would see from Lowden’s high-end acoustic guitar lineup. 

It accordingly commands a hefty £4,500 price tag. For that, however you get a lot of guitar, albeit in the small format ‘Wee Lowden’, or WL profile, that Sheeran prefers from his acoustics. George Lowden, whose master luthiery is all over this, said he was proud to call Sheeran a friend and hoped this would be another guitar to inspire anyone lucky enough to get ahold of one.

“We hope the new Stadium Edition acoustic guitar from Sheeran by Lowden will inspire more players to share their gifts by taking to the stage and embracing the same spirit of creativity, experimentation, and persistence that Ed has shown in their own musical journeys,” said Lowden.

The Stadium Edition has a solid Sitka spruce top, Sitka spruce bracing, with solid Indian rosewood on the back and sides, and a five piece mahogany neck. The neck profile is carved into a GL Standard shape, and joins the body with a dovetail joint. We’ve got a rosewood bridge and an ebony fingerboard.

As with the other Sheeran guitars in the lineup, you’ll find the signature details on the fingerboard, with “Mathematics Tour” maple inlays on the fingerboard. And yet there is still something minimalistic about the build, with Sheeran By Lowden using subtle maple binding for the guitar’s top, and rosewood for the binding on the back. The tuners add a subtle gold accent but with black buttons they don’t pull focus from the guitar.

This is all about the materials, all about the craft, and all about the function. We often talk about the challenges when gigging with an acoustic. Feedback can be an issue in any room, so we can only imagine how difficult that can be when playing a stadium mega-production as Sheeran does.

That’s why George Lowden has made this acoustic slimmer. It’s not quite as thin as a Fender Highway Series acoustic electric guitar but it is thin, and it has a hand-carved soundboard with ‘Stadium Voicing’ to help its performance onstage. 

Each guitar comes signed by Sheeran and Lowden, and, says Alastair Simpson, Lowden Guitars’ head of sales and marketing, it is a piece of pop-cultural history.

“This is more than a guitar, it's a direct link to the magic of Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour – an exact replica of Ed's personal stage guitar used on all of his stadium size gigs during the Mathematics Tour,” he said. “This guitar offers fans, collectors, and musicians an exciting opportunity to own a piece of musical history.”

The Sheeran By Lowden Stadium Edition is limited to just 150 units worldwide. It’s priced £4,500 and available now. But if it is a little steep for your budget – and it is sure to sell out – you can at least console yourself that Sheeran By Lowden has no shortage of mid-priced acoustics to choose from, with the Tour Edition offering a similar aesthetic for £821 street.

“An exact replica of Ed’s personal stage guitar used on all of his stadium sized gigs during the Mathematics tour”: Lowden raises the bar with its most luxurious Ed Sheeran signature guitar to date, the fully hand-made Stadium Edition model

Only 150 of the latest Sheeran by Lowden model will be made, with each boasting the brand's new stadium voicing carve and Sheeran's personal signature

Sheeran by Lowden Stadium Edition

Boutique acoustic guitar manufacturer Lowden has announced its latest Ed Sheeran signature guitar , which represents the firm’s first-ever fully hand-made instrument to be released under the Sheeran by Lowden umbrella.

Multiple Lowden acoustic guitars bearing the name of the stadium-conquering, chart-destroying singer-songwriter have been released in the past – the most recent of which, the limited-edition Autumn Variations model , arrived last November – but this is the first to feature an all-out personalized build.

What’s more, the Stadium Edition model, as it has been officially named, is said to be “an exact replica of Ed’s personal stage guitar used on all of his stadium sized gigs during the Mathematics tour”.

Only 150 of the ultra-exclusive models will be made, each will be constructed by a team of Lowden luthiers, and all will bear the personally hand-signed signatures of both Ed Sheeran and George Lowden.

It makes for undoubtedly the most bougie Sheeran by Lowden model to date, easily surpassing the already high aesthetic, tonal and functional bar set by previous models, from the S03 and W02 to the ‘= Edition’ variant .

“This is more than a guitar, it's a direct link to the magic of Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour – an exact replica of Ed's personal stage guitar used on all of his stadium size gigs during the Mathematics Tour,” noted Alastair Simpson, Head of Sales & Marketing at Lowden Guitars. “This guitar offers fans, collectors, and musicians an exciting opportunity to own a piece of musical history.”

The Stadium Edition Sheeran by Lowden features the brand’s WL body shape – sculpted with a thinline design to minimize feedback – which is paired with a hand-carved soundboard that features Lowden’s newly developed ‘stadium voicing’ carve.

This, apparently, “ensures each chord and note projects with clarity on the biggest stages”. Other core components include solid Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce soundboard, maple ‘Mathematics’ tour inlays, and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics.

All of these have, of course, been brought together courtesy of the “hand finishes for which Lowden Guitars is world-renowned”.

It’s the latest entry into the Sheeran by Lowden line, which first arrived back in 2019 after Sheeran himself made the switch from his trusty Martin LX1E to the Lowden range – a switch that took place after “one of Lowden’s most popular guitars, the Wee Lowden, was designed as a gift for Sheeran at the request of Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody”.

Owing to its exclusivity and premium build, the Stadium Edition model commands a pretty hefty price tag: $5,704.

Sheeran by Lowden guitars are also available on Amazon in the US , but we suspect the Stadium Edition might exclusively be a direct-order model.

Lowden Ed Sheeran Tour Edition Guitar Review

lowden guitar tour

In many cases signature instruments can be a hard pill to swallow; if they’re overdone with an artist’s signature graphics or other adornments, players sometimes feel that there’s no room for their own growth, or even worse, pass on a great guitar just because of the association to an artist. The Ed Sheeran Tour guitar is a great small-scale instrument with a great tone, and isn’t emblazoned with nonsense.

The smallish, non-cutaway “W” style body has a Sitka Spruce top while the back and sides are Indian rosewood. 21 smallish frets adorn the very light-colored ebony fingerboard that sits on a mahogany neck with a 24” scale. Mathematic style fret markers sit nicely on the fingerboard, tying into Ed’s Mathematics Tour. Ebony is also used in the top loading bridge and facilitates string changes without traditional bridge pins. With an LR Baggs EAS VTC pickup, the end pin is the input jack, and small roller wheel controls for volume and tone sit discretely just under the sound hole. The fit and finish were excellent across the entire instrument and the woods themselves had very nice grain patterns.

With the small scale and small body, it’s an easy guitar to get around on. The neck shape has a modern feel that has enough girth to grip on to, and the satin finish was super smooth, and didn’t get sticky with sweat. Smaller players who might find acoustics cumbersome should check this out. The overall build quality was excellent, and in a satin finished instrument, the quality of the materials was obvious.

Considering its size, the tone is quite nice acoustically with a lot of punch. Percussive players will really appreciate the mid thump, especially with fingerstyle approaches. The nut width comes in at 1.75” and the string spacing was comfortable for picking and fingerstyle attack. It sits nicely with a mid and low range that can complement other sharper or jangly instruments like electrics in a mix, while maintaining its own space.

Plugging it in, the LR Baggs system is quite potent. There is a lot of fullness that really gets enhanced when going through even a simple PA system. The overall output was very strong, and the EQ is easy to adjust at stage volumes without getting into overdone tweaking. The “tour edition” name really nails where this works it’s best: live. Our tester used this instrument live in an acoustic duo situation with another guitarist using a full body style guitar, and its presence was still felt throughout the mix, with enough snap during melody and lead parts that were full and robust, and bottom end warmth during rhythm parts that filled in nicely.

This can easily be a grab-and-go guitar for a singer/songwriter on any kind of gig. Some may have a tough time reconciling a signature guitar, but regardless of the name, when it sounds this good, and plays this well, it goes beyond all that and becomes a practical tool for expression for any player who holds it.

Great sounding, excellent pickup, well made.

George Lowden and Ed Sheeran

HISTORY OF LOWDEN

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 collaboration model from 2012 which Ed used to write five songs for his hit 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.

MEET THE MAKER. GEORGE LOWDEN.

George Lowden at work

George Lowden’s career began at the age of 10. Desperately wanting to play a guitar but with no money to buy one, he decided to build it for himself.

When he later decided to make guitars for a living, he chose not to copy existing designs but pioneered his own ‘curvy’ soundbox shapes, a new internal bracing and more natural satin finish.

It is the attention to these unique and many other seemingly small details which gave George Lowden’s guitars the distinctive sound that is instantly recognisable today.

Sheeran by Lowden represents the next step for George in what has been over four decades of listening to players, working together with them to provide the very best acoustic guitars possible.

ED SHEERAN. BORN TO PLAY.

Ed Sheeran on stage

Ed Sheeran, began his recording career in 2004 and has since sold more than 38 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide.

He was given his first Lowden as a present from Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol in 2012 but has always been a huge admirer of the brand. He wrote five songs for the album X on that guitar as well as recording them with it.

Ed believes that the Lowden guitars are as equally good for recording as well as playing live and this has help inspired the collaboration to help aspiring musicians have the chance to own their own Lowden.

Sheeran by Lowden Stadium Edition Acoustic Guitar

Boutique guitar manufacturer Lowden has unveiled the new Ed Sheeran signature guitar, the brand’s first-ever fully handmade guitar from the singer’s exclusive Sheeran By Lowden acoustic line.

Said to be an “exact replica of Ed’s personal stage guitar used on all of his stadium size gigs during the record breaking Mathematics Tour”, the new Stadium Edition model is limited to just 150 pieces worldwide, with each guitar bearing the hand-signed signatures of Ed Sheeran and George Lowden.

Standout features of the Stadium Edition include a “stage-ready” thin body which minimises feedback, and a hand-carved soundboard featuring Lowden’s newly developed ‘stadium voicing’ carve. The latter apparently ensures each chord and note is projected with clarity and resonance whilst minimising the risk of feedback.

The WL-shaped guitar also features Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top and brace, and a 5-piece mahogany and rosewood neck along with an ebony fingerboard. Additional appointments include a rosewood bridge, ‘Mathematics’ tour maple inlays, Gotoh 510 tuners, and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics — put together meticulously by the brand’s band of skilled luthiers.

Stadium Edition by Sheeran Guitars

Priced at a cool £4500, the Ed Sheeran Stadium Edition is certainly not your everyday acoustic guitar. Instead, it offers fans, collectors, and musicians a piece of musical history, says Lowden.

It adds that due to exceptional demand, it may take up to 6 weeks to dispatch your guitar from the point of order.

In other news, Ed Sheeran, who’s currently on the Asia leg of his Mathematics world tour, will feature on the upcoming record of heavy metal icons Cradle Of Filth .

Speaking with Pelna Kulturka [via Kerrang! Radio ], Filth shared that the collaboration will land as one of the “surprises” on the band’s new album: “Well, one of the surprises, obviously, but it’s not so much a surprise is that we’ve got a song that we have Ed Sheeran guesting on.”

    It's the latest entry into the Sheeran by Lowden line, which first arrived back in 2019 after Sheeran himself made the switch from his trusty Martin LX1E to the Lowden range - a switch that took place after "one of Lowden's most popular guitars, the Wee Lowden, was designed as a gift for Sheeran at the request of Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody".
