Now, fans can own the same kind of guitars as Sheeran, who at a surprise appearance at the Anaheim, California NAMM instrument conference announced \u201cSheeran by Lowden,\u201d a new line of acoustics made by the high-quality Northern Ireland guitar company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s any kids\u2019 dream to have a signature guitar,\u201d Sheeran said\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sheeranguitars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in a sit-down<\/a>\u00a0with the company\u2019s founder owner George Lowden (though unlike most musician signature lines, this a brand partnership between Lowden and Sheeran). Sheeran said he\u2019s been a fan of the handmade guitars since he saw his teenage hero Damien Rice playing them, but they were always hard to track down. Sheeran finally got one when Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody commissioned one for Sheeran in 2013 as a gift, made by George Lowden himself. \u201cI was so flattered,\u201d Sheeran said. That guitar (The \u201cWee Lowden\u201d) is now being offered, one of two designs and eight total models. Players can find out where to buy them\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sheeranguitars.com\/nearest-dealers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-gtm-vis-recent-on-screen-9326027_26=\"38264\" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-9326027_26=\"38264\" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-9326027_26=\"100\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-9326027_26=\"1\">\u201cThere are fewer guitar bands and fewer artists using guitars now, and not as many kids picking up guitars,\u201d Sheeran said. \u201cThat is something I would like to change by getting these great quality guitars, made in Ireland, into kids\u2019 hands and encouraging them to learn and progress. To be able to work in tandem with a guitar company like Lowden to create a whole different concept has been a really cool experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lowden works with aerospace engineers to find new ways to make guitars, crafting them from sources like old church pews and naturally fallen trees.<\/p>\n<p>Expect to see Sheeran playing some of these instruments when his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ed-sheeran-taylor-swift-top-tours-770099\/\">record-breaking<\/a>\u00a0tour starts up again February 13th in Brazil. Sheeran also made another announcement today: His hit \u201cShape of You\u201d has been certified diamond, meaning it\u2019s been bought or streamed 10,000,000 times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/ed-sheeran-acoustic-guitar-brand-783910\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rollingstone.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Sheeran\u00a0doesn\u2019t use a lot of gear when he plays a stadium \u2013 just a few small acoustic guitars and a pedal board.
