Intermusic is to extend its guitar
range with the addition of one of the world’s most respected
guitar brands, Lakewood.
Made by hand in Germany and played
by top musicians including Thom Yorke of Radiohead, the Lakewood
guitar has long been recognised as a real force in the acoustic
market. The company founder, Martin Seeliger, is incredibly passionate
about his guitars and their ability to inspire. He says, ‘Your
guitar becomes the vehicle of your inspiration, and an extension
of your soul. It's that elusive element that is the difference
between a mass produced, machine-made guitar, and a hand-made
instrument that takes on the soul of its creator, and eventually
its owner.’
The range is broad starting with
the D-M acoustic at £755 and rising to the D-54 acoustic
at £2995. There’s also the option to have a custom
made instrument with every single part and all materials chosen
by the customer. Intermusic plans to have sample models available
within a few weeks and is showing them officially at the BMF in
July.
Oli Webb of Intermusic says, ‘I’m
really proud that we were recognised by Lakewood as the distributor
they want to work with. Over the past couple of years we’ve
made great strides in the guitar market and, with the Shine electric
brand, are selling into many of the UK’s guitar shops. The
Lakewood guitar gives our existing customers more choice and provides
us with another opportunity to strike up conversations with potential
new customers.’
