This A-35 is a seriously well-built instrument. Lakewood’s commitment to European woods yields a focused, articulate tone – it's fantastic for fingerstyle players and those who appreciate a drier, more nuanced sound. It's a premium-priced guitar, but the quality and unique voice justify the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Oak provides a drier, more focused sound with less sustain and warmth than rosewood. It offers a unique clarity and projection, but it's a different tonal character.
Euphoria is designed for a smooth, fast feel, often considered slightly slicker than ebony. It provides excellent comfort and responsiveness under the fingers.
Lakewood offers a distinct voice and build philosophy; while sharing the precision of German craftsmanship, it avoids the 'sterile' reputation some associate with other European brands, opting for a more organic tone.
