The ultimate fusion of craftsmanship and high-performance amplification.
The LR Baggs AEG-1 Englemann Spruce Dreadnought acoustic-electric guitar represents the culmination of 50 years of innovation in acoustic amplification. Designed by renowned luthier Lloyd Baggs, the AEG-1 combines the full-bodied tone of a traditional acoustic guitar with cutting-edge amplification technology. Whether you're performing on a large stage or playing an intimate gig, this guitar delivers exceptional sound and versatility without sacrificing its true acoustic character.
Superior Acoustic Design With Innovative Neck Support
At the heart of the AEG-1 is a patent-pending neck support system that ensures the guitar maintains a full-bodied, resonant tone while offering a compact, thin acoustic cutaway body. The Indian rosewood back and composite poplar sides create a warm, rich tone, while the solid Englemann spruce top provides crisp articulation and clarity. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, making this guitar as powerful acoustically as it is amplified.
Studio-Quality Sound With HiFi Duet Electronics
Equipped with LR Baggs' custom HiFi Duet system, the AEG-1 is designed for seamless amplification in any environment. The system combines award-winning HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups with the studio-quality Silo Microphone, capturing every nuance of your playing with remarkable detail and balance. Whether you're plugged into a PA system or recording in the studio, the HiFi Duet ensures that your tone remains true to the guitar's natural acoustic sound.
Elegant Playability With Slim C Neck and Premium Components
The AEG-1 is built for comfort and precision, featuring a slim C neck profile made from African mahogany. The 16" radius Indian rosewood fingerboard offers smooth playability, and the 25.625" scale length ensures accurate intonation. With custom closed-back tuners and D'Addario XT Light Gauge Phosphor Bronze strings, this guitar is set up for flawless tuning stability and rich tone.
Built for Performance and Durability
Whether you're performing on stage or recording at home, the AEG-1 is designed to adapt to any setting. The elegant natural gloss finish highlights the stunning tonewoods, while the custom soft shell case provides superior protection for travel and storage. This guitar is as versatile and reliable as it is beautiful, ready to deliver outstanding performance for years to come.
