Fun with the Lakewood custom shop creator
Lakewood implemented in their website and interesting program to "build" your own custom guitar, have a quote and a preview...
http://www.lakewood.de/en/ I found it really interesting and fun to see the preview of one or your ideas in 3D: [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] For instance today I "build" this cutaway jumbo in ziricote, red spruce, split headstock, a lot of wood binding and abalone...

There's the Lakewood forum and the issue with the currency has been addressed...
http://www.lakewood.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=171 This is the list of the distributors in the USA: http://www.lakewood.de/en/dealer_lis...php?country=US To me they said to get the quote from the custom order designer, and then to the distributor to ask for the final price. Here they said they can make a 20% discount... 5000 dollars for a custom guitar made in macassar or ziricote is reasonable, they also made brazilian rosewood but the discontinued it few years ago.
