Lakewood M-32 CP 44mm

The pleasant experience started right from the moment of unboxing. Despite the guitar looks flat in the online review videos but there's a lot more details when I got my hands on it. Absolutely stunning art of work with it's simplicity. The fragrance of the rosewood just pops from the moment I opened the case. In terms of the sound, if you play strumming most of the time, avoid it. If you play fingerstyle like I do, it's a no brainer. The clarity of each note is too high which might be the reason for the 'shattering' feel when you strum chords but it's definitely a good point for fingerstyle. Also just to compare with the other two Taylor's I got (Grand Auditorium and Grand Symphony) the volum of the M body from Lakewood is quieter. It's not a big deal if you're playing at home or using a amp. But if you're planning to perform acoustically only, don't expect the volum from the Dreadnoughts or GA bodies. Overall Lakewood makes awesome quality guitars that's very unique to those American strummers and some people may absolutely love it (like me), some people might not like it at all. Thanks for the opportunity to purchase this guitar from overseas through Thomann!!!
