Hey everyone,
We've just posted this video on Acoustic Review, and here it is:
I really liked this guitar - I felt it had great clarity and a very clean, chimey sound to it. The playability was brilliant and it was very well made. I could definitely see myself using this guitar for a lot of the music that I play as I thought it was a great fingerstyle instrument.
Perhaps I would have preferred a bit more low end from the player's position but that was a minor point and a different wood choice might provide that from Lakewood.
They're not a brand I've had much experience with but I'd recommend them to people based on this model for sure!

Great review - your production is superb. You could use a few more mics though!
I have a real soft spot for Lakewood guitars. My first all solid guitar was an M14CP - same body as yours but in mahogany over cedar. I loved that guitar. I met Martin Seeliger once at a guitar show in Germany and got to try a whole bunch of different Lakewoods.
That one sounds great for strumming- the words I wrote down as I was listening were focussed, crisp and tight. You mentioned crisp in your review too.
Looks wise, it's gorgeous. Very clean as you said and I love how they do the double abalone rosette - very classy. Price wise it seems like a very good deal too. Is it yours Ben, or do have have it only for review?

Your studio has a great background and you seem very natural in front of the camera. Your reviews are a real pleasure to watch! |

We record the videos at Cube Studios in Cornwall, it has a nice vibe and some great equipment. We film the reviews in 'batches' and this is from the second 'batch' so was only my second day in the studio recording - I think I'm starting to find the right mix of 'relaxedness' and remembering what I wanted to say - it's amazing how different it is speaking to a camera compared to a person! |

Yeah, totally. I started vlogging a couple of months ago and I'm getting more comfortable with it. I intend to record guitar tutorials and my space is a big issue - I need to find a studio or set one up in the house if I can get the spousal permission!

I’ve liked every Lakewood I’ve played. Great value I think!
