LAG Guitars from France were created 25 years ago by master luthier Michel Chavarria who started out making small numbers of handcrafted guitars. Today the company produces a range of individual instruments in France and China covering all price ranges. The acoustic guitars featured here are made in China to a very high standard with some nice attention to detail and at this price point are some of the best available. Each season offers a different combination of high quality timbers and some variations in body shape. Lefthanders are available for most models. All the guitars are strung with Elixir's which we at Jam highly recommend for any acoustic guitar. The electro-acoustics use Shadow electronics to good effect, with a 4 band on the Spring and Summer ranges and a 5 band on the Autumn and Winter ranges. Standard features across the ranges are two way truss rods, the Lag sculpted heel, bone nuts and saddles and genuine wood marquetry rosettes (different designs for each season).
We don't keep the entire range in stock all the time so give us a call to see what we have.
The Spring range have
a Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides finished in natural satin. The
neck is mahogany with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard and the binding is
Rosewood and Maple. The guitars have a nice even response with a warm, softish tone but with enough clarity to
the top end to keep things precise. These guitars offer serious quality
for the money with superb finishing and attention to detail.

Lag have recently introduced their stylish new range of acoustics - The Tramontane. Named after the seasonal wind that blows through southern France where the LAG master workshop is based, these guitars combine fine craftsmanship and exceptional playability.
The new Tramontane range comprises three model variants; the 111, 222 and 333. Each range includes the choice of Dreadnought, Jumbo and Auditorium. The electro models all benefit from Shadow Electronics Nanomag Pickup, which is built into the fingerboard, and Shadow's StudioLAG Preamp System which gives the player 5 of the best sounds you’ll ever hear from an Electro-Acoustic guitar!
The 111 series combines Spruce with Mahogany; the 222 Blackened Solid Red Cedar with Mahogany; and the 333 series uses the finest Natural Solid Red Cedar and Indian Rosewood.
Prices from £259.
