Ed Sheeran's Steel-string Acoustic Guitars
In this photo, Ed Sheeran uses a customized Lowden 35 Series guitar. He can be seen playing it live on the song Lego House and while singing with Wayne Rooney.
The article was written by Trevor Dawkins, Ed's sound engineer.
"Ed Sheeran essentially plays two Martin Guitar models. The larger models are a pair of 00-28VS customs that Martin put together for us. They’re absolute beauts: figured Koa back and sides, the gecko inlays on the neck (copies of one of Ed’s tattoos . . . ), and the inlaid koa “X” logo on the soundboard. These are fitted with Fishman Matrix Infinity electronics and are used for Ed's acoustic ballad-type songs." From watching live videos, Ed has 4 copies of this guitar. One has black bridge pins, another has white, and the other two have no gecko inlays on the neck.
In this Instagram photo shared by Ed Sheeran September 2013, he shows a collection of Martin guitars which he has toured with over seven years. The left-most guitar is a Martin Steel-String Backpacker Acoustic Guitar. He captions the photo, "7 years of touring"
On May 10, 2012, Ed Sheeran was seen playing a Takamine GD20-NS Acoustic Guitar while interacting with fans after a show, as captured in a YouTube video by Rhay.
In this video you can see Ed Sheeran and Passenger playing Hearts On Fire with Michael Rosenberg's (Passenger's real name) favorite choice of guitar, the Gibson J45.
Photo from Concert at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on April 14, 2018. This guitar has been a part of Ed's rotation since the beginning of the 2018 leg of the Divide Stadium Tour. It is definitely larger than the Wee Lowden WL model, I believe it is an S body size. Looks like Cedar, or Redwood top? Very cool orange "Divide" album art.
