My Lakewood
...just seems to get better and better. I was nervous at first because of the price, but after two months I have yet to experience any buyer's remorse.
Can anyone tell me why you don't hear more about Lakewood?

Here is mine: http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...M32C%20custom/
I was also hesitated in the beginning but after it opened up man the tone is incredible! They are more popular in EU since only a handful dealers in US and low exposure in mainstream media. They are up there w/ RT's!

Lakewoods I've played (and owned) have been exceptional or profoundly mediocre. They have never been "bad" but the finish always feels a bit rubbery to me, in truth. I think they can be great, but they can also be much less than great. I feel mostly the same way about Larrivees, minus the finish comment.

I think partially just a lack of brand awareness here in the states, but I also personally have a hard time with their typical neck profile. They also have (mostly) standard 44mm or 1.73 nuts and the string spacing is almost always pinched in to play as narrow as a 1 11/16 nut would normally be. Very hard for me to play.....I'd like to try an M-32 someday with a 48mm nut (or even a 46mm with the string spacing out as far as it should be) and low profile neck.
