Solid Mahogany Top Projects with Warmth
The LGD1's solid mahogany top provides the strong projection and balanced warmth characteristic of mahogany. Its resonant, lightweight wood freely vibrates to produce full-bodied 12-string tone with rich overtones. Strung with two sets of light gauge strings, the LGD1 produces a robust, chorused sound perfect for lively sierreño strumming and melodic solos.Combined with laminated mahogany back and sides, this guitar achieves impressive sustain and acoustic power perfect for any 12-string player.
Fishman Pickup Adds Amplified Versatility
An active Fishman RareEarth pickup lets you plug in the LGD1 for amplified performance on stage or in the studio. The bajo-voiced pickup accurately conveys the guitar's acoustic properties through an amp or PA. Simply adjust the volume control to dial in the amount of pickup you want. Go from natural acoustic sound to full-on 12-string drive at the turn of a knob. The pickup includes a built-in tuner so you can quickly tune up for optimal intonation in any playing situation.
Comfortable Playability Meets 12-String Sound
While the LGD1 produces quintessential 12-string tone, its slim neck and ebony fingerboard provide comfortable playability you'll appreciate during long practice or performance. The neck's smooth profile and low action allow easy transitions between chords and melodies. Dot inlays help keep you oriented, while individual chrome tuners with black buttons make quick tuning adjustments a breeze. For full, shimmering 12-string sound and feel-good playability, the LGD1 hits the mark.
Quality Appointments Complete the Package
Binding, rosette and headstock details give the LGD1 an elegant, polished look. Full black binding accents the body, neck and headstock, while the soundhole rosette features an intricate sunburst pattern.
