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. 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.
After 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.
