In case anybody is interested here's the link to the Lakewood website (U.K.Version). There you'll also find the Guitar Designer. Here are some impressions on what you can do with it

I've liked the look of Lakewood guitars since I first saw one several years ago but I don't think I've ever played one! I also remember you talking about them at the weekend Bernd, but I was too busy annoying people with my camera

Didn't even know you'd brought one I saw your De Faoite and you and Mark playing your Akquarius but missed the Lakewood

Yeah I saw Glyn trying out the Lakewood he was very taken with it. For those of you down south Oasis Music are stockists of Lakewood, I played one of their dreds recently and was quite impressed

That looks nice , and what a brill idea are there any other makers / luthiers that have this ? I can't wait till Halifax next year to see what you think of the Sigma . I'm keeping September totally free for it and hoping as Mrs Sigmadels birthday is then , we can have a nice mini break . I'm even trying to coax her into getting her mando out of the attic and practice a bit but she's not having it . Apparently she's a grade 8 on clarinet and won loads of accolades when she was younger but I've never heard her play it just sits dusty in its case , a bit like her purse ;-)

So far this is the only Guitar Designer I know of. I like playing around with it to see how different sorts of wood fit in terms of colour. Like how a snakewood binding fits to a cocobolo side. I'm looking forward to play your Sigma as I've recently played a 000M-18, which is a great guitar for that price. Yours must be two steps ahed of that one It woul be great if you could make it to Halifax next year. The weather there seems to be really great

You're right, Keith. Martin has this Build Your Custom option, where you can start with a standard model and then customize it. You can see the changes from 3 different angles: top, back and side. As it's an american site you'll only find a US$ price. A bit annoying, especially because Martin Guitars are so much cheaper in the U.S. compared to here.
