Qingdao Guitar Square Trading Co., Ltd., Lakewood, founded in Germany in 1986, is trusted and loved by domestic acoustic guitar lovers with its good reputation, focusing on the first-line professional musical instrument agents of acoustic guitars and accessories

The origin and story of Lakewood guitar have been turned around on the Internet for a long time, and friends who have a little involvement in this label should be no stranger, and it can also be seen in Taiwan. The Lakewood brand was founded in 1986 in Frankfurt, Germany by the famous German luthier Martin Seeliger, Martin Seeliger himself is an excellent luthier, his familiarity with the guitar has been cultivated since childhood, at the age of 18 Martin Seeliger learned to make instruments with a Manfred Pletz luthier, and at the beginning of Martin Seeliger mainly made classical guitars, and slowly began to experiment with steel string guitars, mandolins and wooden basses, during which time Martin Seeliger accumulated a wealth of experience in making string instruments, which also laid a solid foundation for his future establishment of Lakewood guitar.

Since 2011, after careful discussions with the Chixiang factory, it was decided to let the Chixiang officially become the agent of Taiwan and there will be more well-known guitarists' signature models imported, but at present, there are a lot of Lakewood copycats on the market, and even the pictures of the original German factory are used to abuse, please have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, Lakewood only has a German production of pianos, and has not authorized any mainland OEM to make guitars or ukulele, The difference can be clearly seen from the production quality of the piano, and the simpler difference is that all the pianos are equipped with the original high-end and lightweight Hiscox hard case, and all the piano bags or shoddy cases on the market.

Lakewood guitar adopts semi-manual and semi-mechanized production, with only about 20 employees and an annual output of only about 750 pieces, in order to ensure the quality of each Lakewood guitar, Lakewood guitar is mainly divided into three large series: Natural series, Deluxe series, Premium series, the three series are divided by the material of the wood: The Natural series mainly uses AAA grade spruce or pine as the panel mahogany as the backside panel material, the Deluxe series uses AAA grade spruce or pine as the panel Indian rosewood backside panel material, and the Premium series uses AAAA grade spruce or pine as the panel walnut or zebra wood, as well as cypress, cocobolo, Koa and other rare woods as the backside panel material; In terms of the shape of the Lakewood guitar, there are mainly D barrels (Dreadnought), OM barrels (grand concert) and J barrels (Jumbo), which are also the barrels that can best show the characteristics of steel string folk guitars.

What is special is that Lakewood provides a very preferential price of Custom Shop (customized custom piano service), which can be customized according to the needs of customers to customize their own guitars, of course, the custom piano mainly has to wait for the psychological preparation! What is more worrying is that the company also found that many Lakewood cottage pianos are sold on the market at a price of several thousand yuan, of course, players who know the goods can see the difference between the German origin of the cottage piano at a glance, for friends who are not quite able to distinguish, please pay attention to it, in fact, the difference can be clearly seen from the workmanship, and then please confirm the model and specifications on the official website of the original factory, you will be able to distinguish.

The success of Lakewood guitar is of course inseparable from those masters who use Lakewood guitar, such as the familiar guitar master Peter Finger, Ulli Bogershausen, Korean guitar prodigy Jung Sung-ha, etc., many well-known guitarists are users of Lakewood guitar, which is inseparable from Lakewood's high quality and delicate craftsmanship. Lakewood has always adhered to their slogan, the Sound of Magic, and we have seen Lakewood's insistence and dedication to violin-making.
