In the mid-1990s (approx. 1992-1997), a series of Lakewood guitars were built over a period of approximately 5 years that only had an "L" inlaid in the headstock. These guitars are the only ones in history that were ever built outside of the workshop in Giessen. They came from Markneukirchen in Vogtland , from Musima . As a former GDR company, Musima had an impeccable reputation and freed up capacity after reunification, which made it possible to offer the Lakewood guitars manufactured there at a slightly lower price and in larger quantities for that time. Around 2,000 guitars were manufactured there within 5 years, which can definitely be considered “real Lakewoods” because they were built strictly according to Martin Seeliger's specifications and concept. The D-8 (mahogany/spruce) and the D-12 ( maple /spruce) were built in Markneukirchen.
