    The beginning of the Wee Lowden story took place when Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody contacted George and asked if they could make a small-bodied guitar as a present for Ed Sheeran. Having had the idea of making something in that vein to add to the range for a while anyway, the request kick-started the process that has led to the release of the guitars you see pictured here. But it wasn’t just a question of shrinking an established model in the range; on the contrary, it was a painstaking process which saw George Lowden lock himself away at a retreat on the Irish coast for four days while he drew designs for the body shape and pondered over the bracing, woods, bridge position and many of the other variables available to him before building the first prototypes. The result is not only one of Ed Sheeran’s favorite songwriting guitars.
