The Lakewood M-Französischer Nussbaum Custom is a Grand Concert size Electro-Acoustic (Cutaway) has a Solid AAAA European Bear Claw Spruce top and French Walnut back & sides and beautifully bound by Maple.

Featuring a C-shape Cedro neck, body-neck-joint at the 13th fret and an Ebony fingerboard, with Mother of Pearl Lillies (3-17th fret). On board electronics are L.R. Baggs Anthem.

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.”
