LAG Smart Guitars: When French Craftsmanship Meets Smartphone-Era Innovation

The Smartphone Revolution Comes to Acoustic Guitars

After 40 years of playing guitar, I've seen many innovations, but nothing quite like what LAG Guitars has achieved with their Smart Guitar technology. Just as our phones evolved from simple communication devices to powerful computers, LAG has transformed the acoustic guitar from a traditional instrument into an intelligent musical companion.

As I tell customers: we aren't trying to sell your grandfather's guitar to young people. LAG Smart Guitars represent the natural evolution of acoustic guitar technology for the smartphone generation.

40 Years of French Innovation Heritage

LAG Guitars' journey began in 1981 in Toulouse, France, combining traditional French lutherie with progressive innovation. Over four decades, they've consistently pushed boundaries:

• 1981: LAG creation in Toulouse with French craftsmanship DNA
• 2018: Smart Guitars launch - pioneering guitar technology
• 2023: Green Guitars Range launch - environmental leadership

This timeline shows LAG's commitment to evolution - from traditional French workshop craftsmanship to cutting-edge smart guitar technology to environmental sustainability.

HyVibe Technology: Your Guitar Becomes the Speaker

The LAG HyVibe Series represents a groundbreaking innovation that transforms how we think about acoustic guitars. Instead of needing external amplification, the guitar body itself becomes the speaker through built-in vibrating actuators.

How HyVibe Actually Works

• Sensor: A highly sensitive piezo sensor under the saddle picks up string vibrations
• Processor: The low-latency HyVibe processor adjusts sound, cancels feedback, and sends signals to actuators
• Actuators: Located below the guitar top, these create pure acoustic sound from natural guitar resonance

Revolutionary Features

HyVibe guitars offer capabilities that traditional acoustics simply cannot match:

• Built-in effects: Reverb, chorus, delay, and more - no pedals required
• Looping functionality: Record and layer tracks directly in your guitar
• Metronome: Built-in timing for practice and performance
• Wireless connectivity: Connect to devices via Bluetooth
• Mobile app control: Shape your tone, create presets, control all functions wirelessly

The New H2 Preamp - Enhanced Innovation

After years of R&D, LAG's new H2 Preamp represents the next evolution of smart guitar technology:

• More powerful processor: Faster, more efficient performance
• Enhanced sound algorithms: Superior sound quality with rich, dynamic tones
• Precise onboard control: Fine-tune effects parameters directly on the guitar
• Shortcut buttons: Quick access to features for user-friendly operation
• Color screen: Improved graphics and enhanced user experience

Environmental Leadership: The Green Guitar Revolution

LAG's commitment to innovation extends to environmental responsibility. Since 2015, they've ceased using endangered woods like ebony, developing BrankoWood as an eco-friendly alternative.

The Sauvage Range - Sustainable Innovation

LAG's Sauvage range combines progressive design with genuine environmental commitment:

• Pale BrankoWood top: Organic treatment providing mahogany timbre with spruce projection
• Eucalyptus back and sides: Rapid-growth renewable resource
• Eco-friendly finish: Environmental consideration in every detail
• Rich bass and powerful projection: Carefully sculpted bodies for optimal sound

The Sauvage guitars prove that sustainability doesn't mean compromising sound quality - it means innovating better solutions.

Mobile App - Complete Wireless Control

The HyVibe mobile app opens a whole new world for acoustic guitarists, allowing you to:

• Shape your tone: Comprehensive EQ and tone-shaping tools
• Activate the looper: Layer tracks and create complex compositions
• Modify FX patches: Adjust reverb, chorus, delay parameters with precision
• Set looper and metronome: Configure tempo, time signatures, and practice options

Available for iOS and Android, the app seamlessly connects via wireless technology, giving unprecedented control over your instrument's capabilities.

Advanced Looper Functionality

Set the metronome and record loops directly in your guitar. Stack up to 4 tracks with various effects. Thanks to the USB jack, recover loops and recordings stored in the 8GB of internal memory on your computer.
