Essential Information About the Lâg HyVibe 20 Dreadnought Cutaway Electro Guitar
- Smart Guitar HyVibe: self-amplification through body vibration, no amplifier needed to increase volume in acoustic playing.
- Built-in Multi-effects and Looper (with metronome): reverb, chorus, distortion, phasing, pitch-shifting, tremolo, and loop recording directly from the guitar.
- Bluetooth Speaker Mode: the soundboard becomes a speaker membrane to play along with backing tracks.
- Tramontane Luthiery: cutaway dreadnought format, solid Engelmann spruce top and ovangkol back and sides for a rich and balanced sound.
The HyVibe Series: Tramontane Tradition Enhanced by Technology
With HyVibe, Lâg offers a modern approach to electro-acoustic folk guitars: luthiery designed for projection combined with an intelligent system capable of transforming body vibrations into amplification and effects. The HyVibe 20 sits at the heart of the range, featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top and ovangkol back and sides, for an ideal balance between precision, warmth, and harmonics.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The Lâg HyVibe 20 Dreadnought Cutaway Electro is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an inspiring instrument at home, in rehearsals, or for small performances without heavy logistics. Its dreadnought format favors accompaniment in pop, folk, acoustic rock, and strumming, while the cutaway facilitates access to higher frets for melodic lines, arpeggios, and solos.
Sound
The solid Engelmann spruce top provides a quick response, excellent definition, and very nuanced dynamics, ideal for transitioning from soft playing to more aggressive attacks. The ovangkol back and sides enrich the spectrum with present lows, solid mids, and bright highs, while maintaining good chord clarity. The dreadnought format promotes projection and fullness, and the HyVibe system adds a unique creative dimension: effects and looper can be projected through the body (self-amplification) or used when the guitar is plugged in, for maximum versatility.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and sound balance, choose a folk bronze 80/20 string set in Light gauge 12-53 (same as factory setup). Picks (soft to medium) are also a simple and universal complement to vary attack and dynamics.

The guitar is visually appealing and cleanly made and offers a good sound even without the integrated amplification.
The effects are interesting. Of course, it should be noted that you always hear the purely acoustic sound of the strings, much stronger than with an electric guitar, so that
the effect is stronger in the background.
Effects such as “distortion”, which use high amplification, naturally quickly lead to feedback. However, the intelligent software can partially suppress the resonances.
The integrated electronics are easy and intuitive to operate. The instructions for the associated Android app, which can be downloaded on the Internet, are quite concise. Overall, however, the app is also successful.
This allows you to assemble and configure effects from up to 4 basic effect elements.
I find it a bit annoying that the parameters of the effect presets that you use can only be changed by saving them under a new name.
The last available firmware update for the guitar is from 25.07.2019. So there doesn't seem to be updates too often.
The included case is also of high quality.
I've had the guitar for about 3 weeks now and I'm slowly getting used to it.
I was a bit disappointed that (with the latest firmware anyway) you probably can't use the speaker function and use an effect while playing along.
The guitar has a hefty price tag. But good vest guitars aren't cheap even without a HyVibe system.Automatically translated

Superb instrument, the finishes are beautiful and classy. It arrived very well settled, which was a bit my fear.
The thin handle is very pleasant and easy to play. it allows a smooth and fast game while responding to the slightest variation in touch.
As for the effect, it's great. The impression is quite strange at first but you get used to it right away. The octaver and the distortion are gadgets, nice for a small AC/DC near the fire... On the other hand, the “looper” is really the huge innovation of this guitar. Of course you can do better with a pedal or an amp, but the big advantage is that you don't have to plug in or take anything with you for a weekend or a vacation. The use is intuitive and simple. The stunning rendering. To have fun or to work it is the best.
As for the application, I had no problem charging it or pairing my guitar, yet I only have an Android “Wiko”. I haven't had time to explore everything yet but it seems super simple.
I haven't done a studio recording with it yet. I am used to working with a “Takamine”, but I am sure I will not be disappointed. Well done LAG...Automatically translated

I had seen several tests on this instrument. I went ahead and bought it. It is a great product. The guitar sounds very good without effect: that's worth noting.
The effects are surprising and provide an undeniable plus. The reverb is great and the looper is excellent. To take it in hand is to adopt it. Plus with the app on the phone. Note that the customer service at Hyvibe is really great! I asked them questions via their chat site, and they answered me in 1 minute!Automatically translated
