This Sheeran by Lowden S04 is a really smart choice for gigging singer-songwriters or players needing a smaller, comfortable instrument. The combination of spruce and walnut gives it a surprisingly full voice, and the LR Baggs pickup system sounds great plugged in. It's a well-made, versatile guitar at a reasonable price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's brighter and more focused, lacking the booming low-end of a dreadnought, but offers excellent clarity and articulation.
The neck is a comfortable 'slim' profile, but the 1.71 in nut width might feel a bit tighter than some prefer for big hands.
