LR Baggs AEG-1 Acoustic Electric 6 String Guitar - Torrefied Sitka Spruce

The LR Baggs AEG-1 Acoustic Electric Guitar is the culmination of a lifetime dedicated to high-performance acoustic amplification, all rooted in the craftsmanship of a luthier. LR Baggs founder and master luthier, Lloyd Baggs, began his journey as a guitar maker, creating instruments for artists like Ry Cooder, Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, and Janis Ian. His deep respect for the guitar evolved into a quest to faithfully amplify his own instruments for live performance.

After years of studying the physics of acoustic instruments and pioneering advancements in pickups and electronics, the AEG-1 is the realization of everything LR Baggs has learned about acoustic sound and amplification. Lloyd’s dual expertise as a luthier and a pickup designer allowed the company to craft a guitar and its electronics in harmony, finely tuning the system for this instrument. With its remarkable acoustic properties, LR Baggs was able to successfully amplify the AEG-1 with its most accurate system yet — the revolutionary HiFi Duet. Equipped with the award-winning HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups and studio-quality Silo Microphone, the AEG-1 is versatile for any stage, big or small.
