Lâg Sauvage J12CE — Jumbo 12-String Electro-Acoustic with Eco-Friendly BrankoWood

The Lâg Sauvage J12CE is a jumbo 12-string electro-acoustic guitar from Lâg's eco-focused Sauvage series, designed for players who want the unmistakable chorus and depth of a 12-string in a stage-ready instrument. The Sauvage J12CE pairs FSC-certified BrankoWood tonewoods with a Stage-Lag preamp, giving performers a sustainable, road-friendly take on the classic 12-string format. Whether you strum open chords, fingerpick, or take a solo, the jumbo body fills a room without needing a PA.

Standout Features of the Sauvage Series

What separates this model from most 12-strings in its segment is the use of FSC-certified BrankoWood — a fast-growing, ecologically sourced tonewood that is tropicalised under heat and pressure to mimic the stability of aged tropical hardwoods. The rough-sawn smoked eucalyptus back and sides, finished with a rounded back profile, give the body a distinctive look while adding resonance. Combined with the proprietary Stage-Lag preamp and a sweepable notch filter, the Sauvage J12CE is built for players who care about both tone and footprint.

Body & Tonewoods — Jumbo Shape with BrankoWood Construction

The jumbo body is the heart of this 12-string's voice, giving it the volume and bass response that 12-string players rely on for that signature shimmering sound. Lâg's Sauvage series uses FSC-certified BrankoWood for the soundboard, an ecologically sourced tonewood treated to behave like aged tropical wood.

• Body Shape: Jumbo with cutaway — large airbox for volume and bass, cutaway for upper-fret access
• Top: Pale BrankoWood — FSC-certified, tropicalised for humidity and temperature stability
• Back & Sides: Smoked Eucalyptus, rough sawn finish — distinctive dark look with a rounded back for added resonance
• Bridge: Brown BrankoWood — sustainable alternative to traditional rosewood bridges

Neck & Playability — Khaya Neck with Black BrankoWood Fingerboard

A 12-string puts extra tension on the neck, so Lâg builds the Sauvage J12CE around a Khaya neck reinforced with a double-action truss rod for stable action under the extra string load. The Black BrankoWood fingerboard and 47 mm nut width give a comfortable platform for chord work and lead lines alike.

• Neck: Khaya — a stable African mahogany-family wood that handles 12-string tension
• Fingerboard: Black BrankoWood — smooth, dark playing surface with a 350 mm radius
• Nut Width: 47 mm — wide enough for clean 12-string chord voicings without feeling cramped
• Scale Length: 650 mm — standard 12-string scale for full tonal development across all six courses

Electronics & Hardware — Stage-Lag Preamp and Stage-Ready Setup

The Stage-Lag preamp turns the Sauvage J12CE into a true stage instrument, with the controls a performing 12-string player actually needs. The onboard tuner is a practical touch for quick checks between songs, and the notch filter is genuinely useful for taming the low-end boom that 12-strings can produce through a PA.

• Preamp: Stage-Lag with Volume, 3-band EQ, Phase, Notch and Tuner — full stage control including a sweepable notch for feedback suppression
• Tuning Machines: Die-cast — stable tuning across all 12 strings, even after heavy strumming
• Nut & Saddle: Black graphite wedge / 72 mm & 47 mm compensated — accurate intonation across the neck
• Strings: Coated Phosphor Bronze Extra-Light 10-47 — light tension for easier 12-string playability and longer string life

Who Is It For — Players Looking for a Stage-Ready 12-String

The Lâg Sauvage J12CE is the right choice for singer-songwriters, acoustic performers and session players who want the unmistakable sound of a 12-string in a guitar that can handle live use without compromise. The jumbo body projects strongly enough for solo coffee-house gigs, while the Stage-Lag preamp with notch filter and phase switch makes it equally comfortable on a louder stage with a band. Players who want a sustainable instrument will appreciate the FSC-certified BrankoWood construction, and the cutaway and 47 mm nut width keep it playable for those moving up from a 6-string.
