Lag is a French guitar company based in the Occitania region of southern France. They are well-known for their excellent range of acoustic guitars, ukuleles, and most recently, their HyVibe series of smart guitars.
Does Lag Make Left Handed Guitars?
Yes! There are currently 9 various left handed Lag guitars available, made up of 8 different steel-string acoustics, and one nylon string classical model.
