The Natural Series
The basis of the Natural Series are the Lakewood-typical aesthetics that have characterized our guitars for decades.
Simple elegance, harmonious design language and differentiated, natural sound merge into complete works of art
that are elegant and suitable for everyday use.
We help precious tonewoods to their best possible purpose. The natural appearance gives these instruments their
own beauty and confirms to us as guitar builders, that it is the simple things that enrich life.
We share this view with all those who want to call a good guitar their own.

22 hard-shell case. 23The 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.

28 29The 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 Customshop is an evolved institution and unique in the world of acoustic guitars. The selection of
body shapes and constructional and aesthetic features is overwhelming and creates freedom for the design of unique
pieces, which are tailored to the special wishes of guitar players.
During its creation each Customshop guitar is the most important instrument in the world to us.

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.

Soundhole rosette, version with white Mother of Pearl (MOP)
The soundhole inlay is the eye-catcher of a guitar top. Heavy relic version
We offer a variety of different designs and each inlay has
its own charm. Many soundhole inlays are decorated
with green and red iridescent abalone rings.
For those who prefer it elegant, but a little more re-
strained, we now offer the pearl inlays in white Mother
of Pearl (MOP).
It would not be wrong to say that Heavy Relic guitars are ahead of their time. In an elaborate process, the instruments
Fingerboard inlays: Celtic Knots 5-15th fret undergo an accelerated aging and show with all their charm the typical signs of wear of historical instruments.
Interestingly, Heavy Relic guitars are often judged to be particularly well played-in. Maybe it‘s just magic, but there is
a grain of truth in that statement. In any case, with one of these guitars you own a unique piece that is incomparable.
Ziricote as new material in various options
We revel in the treasures we gratefully receive from nature and now offer the precious
ziricote wood from Mexico for headstock, fingerboard, heel cap, tuner buttons, bridge pins
and strap buttons.
The Celtic knots represent „eternity“ in a figurative sense and stand for loyalty, friendship and love. We have taken This wood is characterized by excellent sound properties, great strength and exclusive

Titanium version of the truss rod and neck screws
Fingerboard inlays: Circle, Abalone 3-17th fret
Less is more and that can apply even to such inconspicuous things as the neck adjustment rod and the neck mounting
screws. The magic word is titanium. By using this precious metal, we save 75 grams on the total weight of the guitar.
In order to see how certain features work together optically, the Guitar Designer on our website is the perfect choice.

40 41Lakewood Accessories
To make life with a Lakewood guitar even more enjoyable than it already is, we can recommend our accessory items.
You can buy them in music stores in your country.
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.
