Yes indeed, it is very pleasant for Lâg guitars to be part of Music Radar's selection of the best acoustic-electric guitars in 2020, sharing the top of the poster with the world's most famous brands.
At Lâg, we are very happy to realize that Maurice Dupont, one of the most famous French luthiers has been able to give a true luthiers touch to our industrial production. No surprise that Music Radar's conclusion says: "Ultimately, you end up with a guitar that looks, feels and sounds more like instruments retailing at double its price".

Relatively unknown compared to the Martins and Taylors of this world, but with four decades of experience, French manufacturers Lag have been responsible for some brilliantly designed acoustics that offer boutique tones without the boutique price tag. This auditorium cutaway electro-acoustic features a Fishman Ink3 preamp system, with an LCD tuner and EQ/volume controls.
Ovangkol, which is an African relative of rosewood, combines well with the spruce top and tropical khaya neck for a sound that’s wide and deep. Ultimately, you end up with a guitar that looks, feels and sounds more like instruments retailing at double its price.
