LÂG HyVibe | 10 Auditorium Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar

The HyVibe is the world's first true smart guitar: its own top becomes the speaker, the effects unit and the looper.

Developed with acoustics scientist Adrien Mamou-Mani after years of research at Paris's IRCAM institute, the HyVibe system uses an under-saddle sensor, onboard processor and actuators beneath the soundboard to play reverb, chorus, delay and more through the guitar itself — no amp required. Add a built-in looper, Bluetooth speaker mode, a 10-hour rechargeable battery, standard jack output and a deep companion app, and practice, songwriting and street performance all change completely. The auditorium cutaway body with solid top keeps it a genuinely good acoustic guitar even switched off.

About Lâg

For over four decades Lâg has flown the flag for French lutherie. Founded in 1981 by Michel Lâg-Chavarria and now backed by the Algam group, the brand is loved for its Tramontane acoustics — instantly recognisable by their oval soundholes — and for pushing the instrument forward with the HyVibe and BlueWave smart guitar systems. Artists like Vianney have made Lâg part of the sound of modern French music.
