Podcast 337: Lloyd Baggs (LR Baggs)

For this week only, we're sharing with you an episode of another podcast we produce... Acoustic Voices. Acoustic Voices is a collaboration podcast between the FJ and Breedlove Guitars, but it's just as eclectic and hype-free as everything we do. Our most recent interview for that show was with Lloyd Baggs, founder of LR Baggs. It's one of the best conversations we've had about guitars, inspiration and sound reproduction... and I wanted you all to hear it.  Lloyd explains a lifetime of tinkering and inventing, describes an  eye-opening experience he had with Ry Cooder's Takamine, recounts the ups-and-downs of perfecting pickups, and so much more. He's also building guitars again! (Longtime readers may remember the piece Andy Powers did for the FJ on Lloyd's one-of-a-kind guitar creations.) Acoustic Voices: A Guitar Podcast is an all-new collaboration between Breedlove Guitars and the Fretboard Journal magazine, can be found here:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/21oZrV2fkDGZPPBnDGnx1g Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/acoustic-voices-a-guitar-podcast/id1547322420 Lloyd's photography:  https://www.instagram.com/lloydbaggs_theoriginal/?hl=en https://www.lrbaggs.com The Fretboard Journal's 48th issue is now available. Click here to read up on it and start your subscription.
