No i wouldn't either. Made for a limited market for sure. Lowden wise, i favour the spruce top models. Great guitars.

I think a good Larrivee L body with the wood binding can look a bit like the Lowden body.

Many folks aren't overwhelmed by the sound of Sheeran guitars, but the OP's question was "...is there any company that's has a similar shape to the O series?", tempered with the idea that the Lowden price was out of reach.

Some of the other suggestions are great guitars, but the choice is really about what the budget will allow in this case.

The Sheeran guitars seem to be almost specifically targeted toward players that love the Lowden shape but want a it in a much less pricey format. I owned a Larrivee L body and wouldn't consider it to be very "Lowden-like".

Don't know what your range is but there are O model Lowdens built at the former factory (1993-2004) that come uo from time to time for $2500-3500. I find that period had fairly large variability but they are worth considering of course. Search Reverb and there are a couple in the $3500 range. But I have occasionally seen them under $3K. Good luck.
