Lage Lund Standards album - What gear?

**JamiepGuitar** · 05-24-2022, 10:43 AM

Hi guys,

I'm sure everyone is aware of Lage Lund, his sound has changed over the years which I really love.
I just listened to his Standards album the other day, haven't heard it in ages and just loved his archtop tone on it.
It's from 2011ish I believe, anyone know what guitar, amp, pedals Lage was using at this time?
Thank you.

I think back then Lage was playing a Fender D'Aquisto. No idea on pedals or amps though.

Thanks! It actually seems pretty straight ahead tone wise so possibly guitar into amp, sounds great though!

I agree!

If you haven't heard it, more of that great sound on David Sanchez's "Cultural Survival." One of my favorite records.

I think he tried for a moment Sadowsky arch-top.
Actual he is playing on guitar made Stefan Schottmueller.

Yeah, Lage had definitely played a few different guitars through the years. He had that short scale Gibson for a while, too, and I definitely saw him pictured with a D'Angelico (current model, not vintage, I think) a few times as well. If you beleive album covers, the Sadowsky is around the time of Small Club, Big City...

But basically, as a lot of great players do--he sounds like Lage Lund no matter what guitar he's playing.

Can't help with the gear question but thank you for the tip, never heard this album - and I really enjoy it now

Thanks for this, wasn't familiar with it. Have it on now.

I think he was using the Sadowsky Jim Hall at that time (around the same time he did the Jazz Heaven instructional video with that guitar)

I'm pretty sure it was a Korean made DAngelico Excel. I remember seeing him list the guitar for sale and mentioning it was used on that album.

For the standards album, I'm pretty sure he used his Fender D'Aquisto, which I think was his main gear for those years, but on the cover, I see the DAngelico Excel, so that's a bit confusing.
