LAG Sauvage DCE — Eco-Built Dreadnought With Stage-Ready Electronics

Built for working musicians, this dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric guitar pairs the brand's Green Guitars construction with a fully featured Stage-Lag preamp. A Pale BrankoWood top and smoked eucalyptus back and sides deliver the full-bodied projection flatpickers rely on, while the Venetian cutaway opens the upper frets. This model suits players who want a sustainable stage guitar without sacrificing volume.

What Sets the Instrument Apart

What sets this model apart is the Green Guitars approach to tonewood sourcing: the top is Pale BrankoWood, a resin-reinforced pine used for years on bridges and fingerboards, while the back and sides use smoked eucalyptus — an invasive species the manufacturer actively harvests. The rounded back profile adds body to the low end, and quarter-round body bindings, a graphite wedge nut, and a mirrored Lag headstock design on the bridge complete the package.

Body Construction — Sustainable Tonewoods, Full Dreadnought Voice

Inside the body, a tonewood combination designed to balance projection with environmental responsibility takes shape.

• Top Material: Pale BrankoWood — resin-treated pine offering controlled stiffness and a focused midrange
• Back & Sides: Smoked Eucalyptus Rough Sawn — harvested from an invasive species, contributing warmth and rounded low end
• Finish: Satin — light coating that preserves natural resonance
• Semi-Solid construction in this instrument provides a unique balance between acoustic feedback resistance and amplified stability.

Neck Profile — Smooth Reach Across All 20 Frets

Keeping the upper register playable without sacrificing lower-end thump, the neck design pairs a Khaya shaft with a Black BrankoWood fingerboard.

• Neck Material: Khaya — African mahogany alternative with familiar stability and warmth
• Fingerboard: Black BrankoWood — denser, darker variant of the brand's signature composite
• Scale Length: 650 mm — standard dreadnought string tension for full-bodied strumming
• Nut Width: 43 mm — comfortable for both strummers and fingerstyle players
• 350 mm fingerboard radius — flatter modern curve for cleaner bending

Stage-Lag Electronics — Plug In Without Compromising Acoustic Character

The Stage-Lag preamp is this model's defining feature for live performance, with precise control over volume, three-band EQ, mid frequency, notch filter, and a phase switch.

• Preamp: Stage-Lag system — LAG's own electronics platform with onboard tuner
• Controls: Volume, 3-Band EQ, Notch, Mid Frequency, Phase — full feedback and tonal management
• Tuning Pegs: Die Cast — stable tuning under heavy strumming
• Coated Phosphor Bronze Light 12-52 strings — bright, balanced tone with extended string life

Who Should Play the LAG Sauvage DCE

Players conscious of tonewood sourcing will value the brand's use of invasive eucalyptus and resin-treated pine.

LAG Guitars — Four Decades of French Craftsmanship

Behind this acoustic instrument sits a French company with roughly four decades of acoustic instrument building. The Green Guitars concept swaps rare tropical tonewoods for sustainable alternatives — smoked eucalyptus harvested from invasive growth and BrankoWood, a resin-reinforced pine refined over years of bridge and fingerboard production. A padded gig bag ships with the instrument.
