DREAMIN ABOUT LAKEWOOD...

Whenever I pass by Excelsior, I just could not help it but take a glance at the Guitars on display in Living Strings. Not only does the guitars look like beauties at work, the layout of the whole place simply enhances the beauty in it and definitely make the guitars look so classy. The whole interior set-up in Living Strings is very different from most Guitar Shops as the guitar are being placed on Shelves rather than on a rack, making them look like Art Pieces on display. The set-up in the room is very well done and it definitely bring out the Acoustics in these High-End guitars.

One particular brand in which captured my attention would be Lakewood, a High End German guitar. The finish of the guitar is beautiful. Not only does it maintains the wood's look and feel, the robustness and durability of the Guitar is not compromised. I do not thing there are many Guitars in this world who can compete with Lakewood in terms of its Natural Finishing on the Guitar.

When I picked up one of them and start playing with it, I am definitely blown off by the power of the guitar. Every pluck and every strum is so highly responsive that I felt as though I am a seasoned professional player. Even the simplest tune on earth would sound like music from Heaven when played through this guitar. Although the price tags along with them are hefty, I would definitely wish to own one in the near future.

Tim is such a friendly guy who did not put off with the fact that I am not able to buy one. He explained to me in such great detail about the history of the Guitars and how each guitar shape would suit different style of guitar-playing. It is truely an Eye-Opener. In addition to that, he has such a wonderful plan in which allows us to take orders for Customizing through him and I guess it would be alot cheaper that way. One interesting customization would be that it allows us to place our Signature on the guitar fret. It is simply awesome!

For now, I can only dream about them. Ha! Definitely but surely, I would want to own one and the acquisition of a High End Lakewood would be in my agenda within the year or two. This is to be included in my Annual Budget. It is to be all about dreaming for now...
