LAG Sauvage J12CE Natural 12-strenget akustisk-elektrisk guitar

LAG Sauvage J12CE — Eco-Conscious 12-String Electro-Acoustic

Twelve-string electro-acoustic guitars demand a balance between shimmering harmonic richness and playability, and the LAG Sauvage J12CE addresses both. This jumbo-bodied instrument from Lâg Guitars combines FSC-certified BrankoWood tonewoods with a Stage-Lag onboard preamp to deliver a full, resonant voice unplugged and precise control when amplified. In the Sauvage series, this model exemplifies a modern approach to sustainable guitar manufacturing, maintaining the tonal depth twelve-string players expect.

BrankoWood Tropicalization and Eco-Friendly Construction

What sets this guitar apart is the tropicalization process applied to BrankoWood — a technique stabilizing the wood against humidity and temperature changes while capturing the acoustic qualities of prized aged woods. Smoked eucalyptus back and sides feature a rough-sawn finish and a rounded back, an unconventional design that boosts projection and gives the instrument a striking look on stage.

Jumbo Body with Pale BrankoWood Top for Twelve-String Resonance

With a jumbo 12-string body, this instrument produces impressive volume and harmonic complexity. The combination of top wood, bracing, and back material influences how overtones bloom and sustain.

• Top Material: Pale BrankoWood — lightweight and responsive, providing clear articulation across twelve strings
• Back & Sides: Smoked Eucalyptus with rough-sawn finish — a rounded back increases internal air volume, deepening the low end
• Players benefit from the X-bracing pattern, which offers structural support while preserving top resonance

Khaya Neck and Black Brankowood Fingerboard for Comfortable Twelve-String Play

Twelve-string necks must accommodate wider string spacing yet remain comfortable for long sessions. Neck profile, fingerboard radius, and nut width all affect how easily chords and notes are played.

• Neck Material: Khaya — an African mahogany species contributing stable resonance and warmth
• Fingerboard: Black Brankowood with 350 mm radius — a moderately curved profile supporting both chords and single-note lines
• Nut Width: 47 mm with black graphite saddle — gives adequate spacing for accurate twelve-string intonation
• Scale Length: 650 mm — standard for balanced string tension

Stage-Lag Preamp for Full Amplified Tone Control

Amplifying a twelve-string requires more than just a volume knob. The preamp system ensures the acoustic personality is faithfully carried to your sound system.

• Preamp: Stage-Lag with volume, 3-band EQ (low/mid/high), phase, notch filter, and built-in tuner — flexible tone shaping for live and studio use
• With Coated Phosphor Bronze Extra-Light 10-47 strings, finger fatigue is reduced while maintaining vibrant tone
• Hardware: Die-cast tuning machines with black hardware — designed for dependable tuning, crucial on a twelve-string

Twelve-String Players Seeking Sustainable Tone

The Sauvage J12CE fits acoustic guitarists after a full, chiming twelve-string sound with reliable amplified capabilities. Singer-songwriters layering arpeggios and open chords will notice the jumbo body’s projection and value the preamp’s notch filter for feedback control. Environmentally conscious musicians will appreciate the FSC-certified BrankoWood and eco-friendly varnish. At 3.5 kg, this instrument is easy to handle for long sets, and a padded gig bag is included for safe transport.

Lâg Sauvage Series — Green Guitars with Character

Launched as a Travel model in 2022, the Sauvage series expanded in 2023 to include Lâg’s most popular body shapes. Each instrument uses FSC-certified BrankoWood and a varnishing process minimizing environmental impact.
