LR Baggs AEG-1 Acoustic Electric Guitar – Sunburst Sitka Spruce

The LR Baggs AEG-1 represents the pinnacle of acoustic-electric innovation, merging master luthiery with decades of groundbreaking pickup and electronics design. Crafted under the vision of Lloyd Baggs — whose guitars once served artists like Ry Cooder, Jackson Browne, and Graham Nash — the AEG-1 is a performance-focused instrument designed to deliver uncompromising acoustic tone, both unplugged and amplified.

This model in Sunburst Sitka Spruce features a finely voiced spruce top, Indian rosewood back, and poplar composite frame, all enhanced by a revolutionary neck support system that allows the top and back to resonate freely for maximum sensitivity and tonal richness.

Equipped with the LR Baggs HiFi Duet system, combining award-winning HiFi bridge plate pickups with the precision-engineered Silo Microphone, the AEG-1 captures every nuance of your performance with studio-quality clarity and feedback resistance. Whether on stage or in the studio, it’s designed to sound like a perfectly mic’d acoustic guitar—without compromise.
