The Baggs AEG-1 Acoustic Electric Guitar is the culmination of a lifetime dedicated to high-performance acoustic amplification, all rooted in the craftsmanship of a luthier.
LR Baggs 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.
After years of studying the physics of acoustic instruments and pioneering advancements in pickups and electronics, the AEG-1 is the realisation of everything they’ve learned about acoustic sound and amplification. Lloyd’s dual expertise as a luthier and a pickup designer allowed LR Baggs to craft a guitar and its electronics in harmony, finely tuning the system for this instrument. With its remarkable acoustic properties, they were able to successfully amplify the AEG-1 with their most accurate system yet — the revolutionary HiFi Duet. Equipped with the award-winning HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups and our studio-quality Silo Microphone, the AEG-1 is versatile for any stage, big or small.
HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups
At the heart of the HiFi Duet are two bridge plate sensors that deliver outstanding string balance, tone, clarity, and dynamics, faithfully capturing the guitar’s authentic voice. The design, materials, and precise size and shape of the pickups achieve a perfect balance between string vibration, body resonance, and feedback resistance, offering a truly unparalleled plug-and-play experience.
