The Premium Series

               When it comes to the inner values of a guitar, the four instruments of the Premium Series already make you sit up
                   and take notice when the first note is produced. Transparency and balance pair with power and dynamics.
               One key to these qualities lies in the use of exclusive tonewoods: cypress from Southern Europe, myrtle from North
                         America, flamed maple from the Alps and cocobolo from Mexico carry the tonal foundation,
                                               which is enriched by a select AAAA Alpine spruce top.
                           We have incorporated this treasure into a congenial aesthetic with tasteful decorative inlays
                                                         and a particularly elaborate varnish.

The Signature Series

                                 Ulli Bögershausen has performed finger style guitar for more than 35 years. He knows precisely how his guitar
                                                 needs to be equipped. All his preferences are embodied in his signature model.
                                       In addition, he personally plays in each individual guitar providing it with its own individual soul.

                                Sungha Jung has become universally known as a finger style virtuoso. By virtue of his fascinating technique and
                               tasteful rendition, he has inspired the guitar scene. His requirements in regard to tone and playability determined
                                            our development of his signature guitar and represents our mutual striving for perfection.

                               Gregor Meyle was looking for tone and aesthetics in a guitar to complement his particular music and lifestyle. In
                               cooperation with Gregor we developed a signature model which suited him wonderfully and filled us with pride.

  The Lakewood Custom Shop offers various options to create your own personal dream guitar. There are (almost)
countless configuration options available, which are grouped into several groups and categories.
  The perfect application for this is the Lakewood Guitar Designer, a 3D configuration tool on the Lakewood website.
With this software you can easily design your guitar as it is simultaneously displayed as a photo-realistic 3D model.
Also the guitar designer ensures that everything you construct on the screen is “correct” so that the guitar can be built
accordingly.
                                                                                                                                           Concert                           Auditorium                                 Grand Concert                               Dreadnought                                     Jumbo
  On completion of this creative process, your order and then the construction of your guitar will follow, a process of
some three months. In the end, you will have a guitar in your hands that we have personally made for you according
to the specifications that have sprung from your ideas and wishes.                                                          Help - The most important attributes of each body shape

                                                          The Lakewood Pickguard
                                                            What can you say about a simple piece of plastic? Our
                                                          pickguards are elegant, highly flexible, transparent and
                                                          durable. They are available with matte and glossy surfac-
                                                          es. The pickguards are easy to put on and can be removed
                                                          at any time. They protect against injury to the guitar top
                                                          from fingernails and picks. They are, in all modesty, the
                                                          best pickguards you can buy and the only pickguards that
                                                          hold up on matte finish surfaces and can still be removed.

                                                          Guitar strap (brown or black)
                                                            A true Lakewood classic is our leather strap, handmade
                                                          for us in Nova Scotia / Canada. The strap is available in
                                                          black or brown leather, features the Lakewood logo in a
                                                          prominent position and is adjustable in many ways. A
                                                          must have for all Lakewood players and all others who
                                                          want to buy a nice strap first and a great guitar later.

                                                          Lakewood Microfiber Cleaning Cloth
                                                            We are rightly proud of our microfiber cloth. It is hard
                                                          to spend more money on only cloth and almost impossi-
                                                          ble to find a better and more durable cloth.
                                                            With a size of 40 x 50 cm, the cloth is suitable as a guitar
                                                          pad. The cloth does not fluff, does not create scratches and
                                                          can be washed as many times as you want. The embossed
                                                          Lakewood logo is giving it an elegant touch.
