When Ed told Gary Lightbody (frontman 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. Check out our diverse selection of electric guitars from leading brands. Our acoustic guitar collection is one of our proudest offerings.
