Our 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.129496s;\"\u003eAfter years of studying the physics of acoustic instruments and pioneering advancements in pickups and electronics, the AEG-1 is the realization of everything we’ve learned about acoustic sound and amplification. Lloyd’s dual expertise as a luthier and a pickup designer allowed us to craft a guitar and its electronics in harmony, finely tuning the system for this instrument. With its remarkable acoustic properties, we were able to successfully amplify the AEG-1 with our most accurate system yet — the revolutionary HiFi Duet. Equipped with our award-winning HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups and our studio-quality Silo Microphone, the AEG-1 is versatile for any stage, big or small.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.198561s;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Inside Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.202878s;\"\u003eThe patent-pending neck support system of the AEG-1 is the foundation of its exceptional acoustic performance. Traditionally, the top and back of thin-bodied acoustic guitars are overbuilt to support the neck, which compromises the acoustic response. Our innovative approach liberates the top and back to be voiced independently without having to support the neck, resulting in greater sensitivity and an ideal acoustic response, all within a sleek and comfortable design.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.207194s;\"\u003eAnother benefit of the rock-solid neck support is that more string energy is transferred to the top, expanding dynamic range, enriching tonal depth, and enhancing low-frequency response. This contributes to the depth, warmth, and rich acoustic sound that was previously unattainable from an Acoustic-Electric guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.207194s;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationalmusic.com.au\/assets\/images\/LRBAEG-1%20detail%20banner.jpg\" style=\"width: 1000px; height: 252px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.220144s;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--white\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Ply?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp class=\"sqsrte-large preFade fadeIn\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; transition-timing-function: ease; transition-duration: 1.5s; transition-delay: 0.22446s;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sqsrte-text-color--white\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“As a design enthusiast, I’ve been in love with the iconic mid-century plywood furniture of Charles and Ray Eames, and that of Eero Saarinen for as long as I can remember. Recognizing the strength, stability, freedom of design, and the beauty offered by what was then thought of as a lowly material, these designers elevated ply to luxury status. The ply of the AEG-1 is custom made in the U.S.A. of highly sustainable Poplar and offers the same qualities that inspired the Eames’ and Saarinen to embrace this material.
