Its Not Always A Happy Ending
One of my favorite adverts was one by Honda which said at Honda they don't use the word "OK" and instead they use the phrase "What If". I LOVED that advert and found it so inspiring. This is the premise of every guitar setup we undertake. If that means rejecting guitars and starting again - that is exactly what we do.
No Time To Watch the Videos? Here Is the Summary...
If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!) Richards Guitars offers a unique service offering the more discerning/knowledgeable buyer a host of "players benefits" which will ensure that ANY guitar purchased will give you years of enjoyment - regardless of the price paid.

The Lag HyVibe Tramontane can rightfully claim to be the world’s first Smart Guitar. This Left-Handed TLHV30DCE Tramontane HyVibe 30 model tops the range, boasting a solid Bearclaw Sitka Spruce top, paired with figured Bocote for the back and sides. The gloss finish shows off the woods to full effect, while the included hard case keeps the guitar safe during storage and travel. Like all HyVibe models, the HyVibe 30 can amplify itself, generate its own effects, or even turn into a bluetooth speaker, all without cables, pedals or amps. A rechargeable battery (with battery gauge) means you’ll never have to worry about a panicked search for a new 9 volt ever again.
The LAG Tramontane HyVibe 30 is now available from Merchant City Music, Glasgow's longest-established guitar specialist. Every guitar we sell is subjected to a thorough check over and full professional setup, ensuring it plays its very best. We ship fast to the UK, Europe and worldwide.
LAG TLHV30DCE TRAMONTANE HYVIBE 30 LEFT HANDED - BEARCLAW SITKA SPRUCE TOP, BOCOTE BACK AND SIDES, CUTTING EDGE HYVIBE ELECTRONICS
The Left Handed LAG Tramontane HyVibe 30 is the range-topping model in Lag’s groundbreaking range of smart guitars. Every piece of wood is carefully selected for its tonal characteristics and aesthetic properties. The top is carved out of specially-selected bearclaw Spruce, which takes the voice of Sitka spruce and expands it, thanks to greater stiffness. Combined with the breathtaking figured Bocote body, the TLHV30DCE is incredibly responsive, with full and rich midrange and impressive sustain. It is also highly playable, thanks to a body cutaway, and Lâg slim neck profile.
We can’t fault Lag’s build quality, with lovely fretwork and fine fit and finish. Lag have put a lot of work into their production process over the past few years, overseen by French master luthier Maurice Dupont, and it really shows.
ABOUT THE LAG HYVIBE SYSTEM
Unobtrusively sitting where you’d usually find an electro-acoustic’s preamp, you’ll find the HyVibe control panel. This gives you access to Lag’s unique and unprecedented HyVibe system. The HyVibe System uses a vibration control system composed of actuators, a high-speed processor, and a Bluetooth module to turn The Lefthanded Lag Tramontane HyVibe 30 into its own amplifier, connected speaker, recorder, looper, and multi-effect processor.
Though the range of functionality might be daunting at first, the controls are very intuitive. You’ll find yourself recording loops and playing with effects (all amplified through the guitar’s body, remember!) in no time at all. It’s dead easy to connect your phone to the bluetooth and play along with your favourite song, too. Everything you do on the guitar can also be outputted through your amp or PA system.
Also included is an input jack socket, allowing external pedals, etc. to be plugged into the HyVibe System. The input and output jacks can be used together to run external devices such as fx pedals, sound cards, and PC’s through the guitar.
For those who simply want a usable electro-acoustic guitar, the Lag TLHV30DCE Left Handed performs this function too, the inbuilt rechargeable battery providing a greater level of usability than any other preamp system currently available. Practical features naturally include a built-in tuner, though the metronome is not something you’ll find elsewhere!
Any scepticism an acoustic traditionalist might have about the Lag Tramontane HyVibe 30 dissipates upon use. This is a deeply capable system, which, far from compromising the acoustic guitar we all love, enhances it. In one move, Lag have drastically advanced what can be expected of an electro-acoustic guitar.
