L.R. Baggs started this in a loft in downtown Los Angeles, California, with a hope and a dream, and no business sense whatsoever. The first L.R. Baggs product was our LB6 Series Pickup. L.R. Baggs would like to thank Leo Kottke for his early support. Stores would call us and say, "Leo Kottke said he was using your pickup." L.R. Baggs could literally track his touring route as the stores would order in his wake. Early endorsers were Steven Sheehan of the Judds, James Taylor and Kathy Mattea. These endorsers gave them the encouragement and support that sustained them when they had more enthusiasm than business sense. They spread the word and gradually their business grew.
L.R. Baggs came a long way from those old "mom-and-pop days." Every year L.R. Baggs has designed new and exciting products. L.R. Baggs has endeavored to use our God given talents to offer the cutting edge in guitar amplification. They hope that they have created products that will encourage, motivate and inspire you, the customer.
