Already since beginning of this year's Musikmesse in Frankfurt (Germany) on March 12, 2008 all customers of Lakewood Guitars got a special 10% discount on VOVOX guitar cables upon presenting their Lakewood Guitar Passport. The special offer is valid throughout December 31st, 2008. Furthermore, the Swiss cable manufacturer has a new optimized cable configuration with a right angle Œ" Silent Plug in stock which is especially suited for acoustic guitars. Thanks to their special design and materials, VOVOX sound conductors transmit signals more naturally and purely than conventional cables. As Lakewood has now confirmed, they are therefore especially suited for electric-acoustic guitars.  "We at Lakewood consider the well-balanced sound properties of our acoustic and electric-acoustic instruments to be very important. For this reason, we spare ourselves neither hard work nor expenses in order to keep improving those properties. Our customers expect a perfected and flawless guitar, with an impressive sound and look", Markus Hoppe (distribution and marketing Lakewood Guitars), describes the philosophy of his company. Regarding the cooperation with VOVOX, he states: "VOVOX cables are the exact consequence of these thoughts! Why should one compromise sound quality by using other cables, when a better solution is available? We'd like to facilitate our customers in entering the VOVOX world and have therefore decided to form this cooperation." Jürg Vogt (VOVOX AG) explains: "Musicians must have access to their instrument's full potential. Assisting them in reaching this goal is our driving force. Therefore, we highly appreciate this cooperation. It gives us the opportunity to take part in the optimal transmission of the excellent sound of Lakewood Guitars." He proceeds to point out the advantage of the new configuration with Neutrik Silent Plugs: "The Silent Plug automatically mutes the instrument when plugging in or out. This way, annoying "pops" and "squeaks" are avoided. The 90° right angled plug reduces mechanical stress on the guitars as well as on the cables."  Dowload this press release
