1 NECK
Based on the Wee Lowden, this Sheeran model shares the same 'short' 24" scale length. The mahogany used for the one-piece neck is, we're told, often from recycled sources, not least church pews!
2 PICKUP & SOUNDHOLE PREAMP
The LR Baggs Element Class A preamp features a "proprietary analogue compressor that operates below 400Hz... creating in live performance the superior warmth and natural balance of tone achieved in professional studio mastered sound".

Along with the solid Sitka spruce top and figured walnut back and sides of this Equals model and the standard W-04, other pairings include cedar/walnut (W-01), Sitka spruce/Indian rosewood (W-02) and cedar/ rosewood (W-03).
