I just picked up a Lamaq dreadnought (cedar top/rosewood b/s) as my beater. It was real steal and I cannot believe how good it is compared to other guitars in the price range. It sounds great and, from what I can tell, has a solid top and back. It also has a Fishman pickup in it. The quality is amazing for the price.
I know that all the jigs etc for making the guitars were developed here in the UK and then sent to China where the guitars were constructed but I cannot find out many details about the guitars themselves. There is a website (
www.dgcdistribution.com) but it doesn't say alot. There is a label in side which is signed by Antonio Lamaq, who I believe makes high quality classical guitars.
Anybody know anything about them?
