The Lakewood A-31 Crossover Custom is an Auditorium size Electro-Classical (Cutaway) with a solid AAA Cedar top, Indian Rosewood back & sides and beautifully bound by Maple. An attractive wooden core (with slim purflings) soundhole complements the instrument, which is finished in a open pore satin gloss finish. Featuring a C-shape Cedro neck, body-neck-joint at the 12th fret and an Ebony fingerboard. On board electronics are L.R. Baggs’ Anthem SL Classical. As with all Lakewood guitars it is the attention to detail that sets these instruments aside. Bespoke Hiscox/Lakewood hard-case included.
Lakewood’s Natural Series is all about natural beauty! Wood and form speak for themselves and can be appreciated by touch. Simplicity, utility and highest quality are combined in an unbeatable, conscious understatement.
Lakewood’s founder Martin Seeliger comments: “New technology offers incentives and challenges for the creation of something as complex as an acoustic guitar which demands the highest levels of precision. We are driven to build instruments whose tone, aesthetics and finish meet highest standards. To achieve this, we delve into the absolute finest detail and are proud to be writing part of German musical instrument history.”
