SHEERAN BY LOWDEN STADIUM EDITION & SHEERAN LOOPERS FROM £299

Suffolk’s biggest pop export has launched not one but two signature products. First up is the first ever handmade Sheeran By Lowden model, making it (for all intents and purposes) a full-blown Lowden. The Stadium Edition (£4,500) is limited to 150 pieces and is designed to be an exact replica of Ed’s stage guitar, featuring a WL (Wee Lowden) body made of solid rosewood back and sides with a spruce top, including Lowden’s Stadium Voicing to maximise clarity and resonance, while also fighting feedback.

Meanwhile, Sheeran has also launched a pair of signature looper pedals. Designed by the guitarist and his production team, the Sheeran Looper + (£299) and the larger Sheeran Looper X (£1,199) put Sheeran’s looping capabilities at your feet, with multi-track looping (two on the + model, four on the X), multiple looping modes and effects all built in. www.sheeranguitars.com

VINTAGE REVO SERIES FROM £449

We love vintage gear – and we love affordable gear just as much. Sadly, the two are often mutually exclusive. But now Vintage (the brand) has teamed up with Alan Entwistle to ensure our retro cup runneth over with its new REVO series. The REVO (Retro Vintage Originals) line comprises a staggering number of guitars split into nine ranges: Deluxe, Vision, Trio, Midline, Surfmaster, Integra, Colt, Supreme and Superthin. The entire line-up spans semi-acoustics, offsets, double-cuts and more, plus there are 12-string and baritone models. Each one features Wilkinson hardware, Graph Tech nuts and Entwistle pickups. Prices start at £449. www.vintageguitarsrus.com
