"My first LAG guitar was love at first sight and first sound. The nylon-string models feel perfectly balanced in my hands, with remarkable resonance, clarity, and playability across every register. I’m proud to own several LAG guitars, including the new Sauvage nylon slim body, which I doubly love. I’m honored to be part of the LAG family as a LAG Artist."
We are honored to welcome Bill Banfield to the LÂG Artists family and proud to see his creativity expressed through our nylon-string guitars, including the new Sauvage Nylon Slim Body.
