The Lakewood M-14 is a Grand Concert size Electro-Acoustic Cutaway has a solid AAA Spruce top and Mahogany back & sides and beautifully bound by Maple. An attractive wooden core (with purflings) soundhole complements the instrument, which is finished in a open pore satin finish. Featuring a C-shape Cedro neck, body-neck-joint at the 14th fret and an Ebony fingerboard, with Mother of Pearl Magic Symbols (3-17th fret). On board electronics are L.R. Baggs Anthem. 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 guitars are built in Giessen, near Frankfurt/Main since 1986 and much expertise has been accumulated by them in the professional, artistic creation of fine guitars. Traditions mean a lot to them if they manifest in everyday working reality.
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.”
