Lag Sauvage D - naturel

Made from FSC-certified woods and finished with a minimalist varnish, the LAG Sauvage D is a Dreadnought-style steel-string acoustic guitar that firmly establishes the French brand's commitment to eco-responsibility.
It also stands out for its use of unusual woods: solid Pale BrankoWood top (equivalent to Spruce), Eucalyptus back and sides, Khaya neck and Brown BrankoWood fingerboard (equivalent to Rosewood). BrankoWood is the invention of Australian scientist Branko Hermescee. It took him two decades to develop a revolutionary process endorsed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). BrankoWood is made from short-cycle New Zealand pine. The wood is first dried to bring its moisture content down to 10%, then impregnated with catalysts and pigments in pressurized vats, followed by a second drying phase to bring its moisture content down to 2 or 3%, before a second pressurized impregnation, this time with resin.
The 3rd phase consists in compressing the material to lose up to 40% of its mass and densify it. Depending on the level of compression, we obtain Pale BrankoWood (equivalent to Spruce), Brown BrankoWood (equivalent to Rosewood) or Black BrankoWood (equivalent to Ebony). Last phase: fine sanding for perfect appearance and contact. The high density and hardness of Eucalyptus exacerbates the clarity of each note. What's more, it's extremely pleasant to the touch and has a most seductive appearance. If Lag has chosen this species as an alternative to Ebony, we can be confident.
