I've just paid £xx for a factory 2nd Lamaq cutaway jumbo (model as yet uncertain) from an eBay seller in County Durham UK. The Fishman Classic 4 pickup and preamp normally costs more than the £xxx price inc post, and I need a neater pickup rig than a Shadow I bought from Thommann (huge great big preamp weighs tons) for my Washburn Parlour. If the Lamaq - which has a pinless bridge and Lowden style twin saddle - is any use as a player, I'll not cannibalise it. But if the Fishman has twin undersaddle elements it's even more of a silly bargain, as I'm always in the market for bargain used Lowdens. My current Lowden is a very expensive S35C ziricote/cedar, the first cutaway small body made by the new works, and I don't take it to sessions. The Lamaq is just the right price for pub use. This vendor on eBay current has a stack of new Lamaqs for £xxx and 2nds with small finish marks for xx.
