I have the LE422, best playing and feeling guitar. I thought on many occasions to get rid of it but it has outlasted everything I ever bought. Needs a refret and have a dilemma, pay for refret Stainless Steel or buy a new guitar. I got mine as they wen't out of busines, $179, refret is $370.
Played a friends LE924 yesterday, couldn't believe how well balanced it is, and the neck is super fast and feels awesome. Made a believer out of me. I want one now!
It's not the guitar that sounds good, It's the man playing it. He made the low end line sound like the high end. Fact of the matter is that Greg Howe can play on a stump with strings attached to it and sound awesome. Because he has practiced at his trade his whole life. All he does is play guitar and it shows
I owned and LE 300 back in 2014 but had to sell it. Very underrated guitars. I recently came across an LE 400QBL that was a train wreck, but got it really cheap! Took it completely apart and resurrected it. Frets were badly tarnished, the body was filthy and all of the screws needed to be cleaned and repainted. I also took the Floyd Rose apart and painted what wouldn't clean up. Then I buffed and polished the body to it's former beauty although there is some finish checking around the neck pocket. Now she's a keeper!
I still have my Laguna LE400Q..was really amazing guitar..great punch!, really superb!..the alnico magnet kicks as*!..feel bad for the company..but at least i have one!!!..yes!
I bought a LE200Q a couple of weeks ago to replace a faulty Squier. While I do love it there are a few things that make me quite a bit bummed: The quilted maple is only in the middle..the rest of the top is normal woodgrain maple. The tone knob crackles when there is any sound coming from the guitar. The pickup selector tends to pop when there is any sound coming from the guitar. There's some glue over-run from the frets on the fretboard. Other than those issues it's an awesome guitar.
i was stunned at how good the le300 sounded. and i mean STUNNED!! great for fast aggressive punk rock as well as some jazzy, bluesy stuff. not so much metal though but what do you expect?
I think Greg Howe is a Asian born in america because he looks like a Filipino and his signature guitar named 'LAGUNA' which is a popular place in the philippines where the national hero of it born.
I would really like to take a LE300 and a LE924 to my next gig and se what they are made of ..... It would be interesting.... hmm... but they don't sell here in sweden.....
actually its all in greg hands anyway he been shredding funkin since 1986 he is a testament that doesnt matter what brands of guitar he picks up lol , so are likes of ron thal, paul gilbert and many shrapnel era etc etc
@FallOfHermes Sounds like a set up problem not one inherent to Laguna guitars. But I could see how having it not set up when you first get it would suck (that's something Ibanez is good about doing right)
greg howe!! yeah. i want his LE924 on my hands now.. whew!! how i wish. .. hahaha.. great sound, built for him.. fit for his style. btw im a greg howe fan!! le400q costs 399.9 $ yeah..
These guitars looks nice, but the Floyd Rose on those double locking models looks really cheap. They look just like the FR that came in a Cort x11 I had which felt cheap didn't stay in tune after some dive bombs.
I bet some people assume because these are low priced, they suck. Not true. It's the same with most instruments. When you buy the big name brands, you have to pay more because of the novelty of it. I'm also a drummer, and when you buy Zildjian or Sabian cymbals, you overpay by a ton. When you look into smaller, lesser known brands, you can get sound that is just as good for much cheaper.
I hate how non of their guitars are customizable, for example the Ibanez RG series, the use of a pick gaurd lets you make a 1 pick up guitar or 1 humbucker 2 single or even 3 Hum bucker if you wanted, in ALL different colors what ever you want. But these are just so bland SO bland
they aren't poorly made, they just have poor hardware, but they are very cheap. with a little time and some money, add emgs, and a Floyd rose, you'll have a great guitar
These guitars are pretty good to me the tuners work fine pick ups could be better but everything else works for me I have 12 guitars that cost a lot more but this is my old faith full. And I still have it.

everything in this video is very WARM and gives you a lot of SUSTAIN!!
"so they're designed for guys like you and I"
Oh, so they are designed for guys who are awesome AND for guys that suck.
Sadly, these guitars are awesome but, never took off...I own one...very solid guitar.

I have no words to say this guy is awesome
LE300 beautiful guitar with beautiful sound
Love my Laguna. Love Greg Howe great guitar player.

great guitars. i own the LE300 with the swamp ash body, and its amazing. a very WIDE variety of tones. great for any style.
Had the le400q. Amazing guitar one of the best I ever played. Got it for 150 at pawn shop. The pickups are really versatile
You are an amazing musician!

Yeah, also put out a couple of dealers out here in Australia.

That heavy riff at the beginning just make you wanna buy one of these guitars. But i transcribe the riff instead :P
these are great guitars, and remeber that the sounds is in our fingers.

finer or lower quality as these guitars, when Greg Howe playing with them, makes it all sound very good

just super !!!!!
I was getting ready to buy that first one, but I didn't want that scrunchie, so I went with Ibanez.
@vicchavill Well the guitar that they made for him is pretty good.
I'll buy all the products simply because of Greg Howe's presence.
I have a LE122, it was my first guitar. But since then I have gotten a bc and rich warlock, and it's no comparison to the laguna
Greg Howe is the Guitar master!!!!
No one like him!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS
I would really like to take a LE300 and a LE924 to my next gig and se what they are made of ..... It would be interesting.... hmm... but they don't sell here in sweden.....
Máster of the master
had the le200q for over a year and its better than my friends epiphone sg400 with duncan 59 and p-rail.
I gotta be honest, I only came here because i saw a one page ad on a guitar center brochure i picked up a few days ago.
flame maple top on swamp ash? it's like covering sport car by birds sheet.
Available in the U.K. yet??? There's a market waiting...
actually its all in greg hands anyway he been shredding funkin since 1986 he is a testament that doesnt matter what brands of guitar he picks up lol , so are likes of ron thal, paul gilbert and many shrapnel era etc etc
@Olipickrockgod holy shit your right man good call!!!!!

greg howe!! yeah. i want his LE924 on my hands now.. whew!! how i wish. .. hahaha..
great sound, built for him.. fit for his style.
btw im a greg howe fan!!
le400q costs 399.9 $ yeah..
Laguna needs to bring back the LE524 in both FR and non FR models.
really cool guitars they look like high quality stuff but they should change the headstock in the le400. doesnt look good
and can't find them for sale anywhere.
i would kill to have the le400q
@RedSandStudios i didnt buy the bc rich, my brother gave it to me for free. I think he paid about 300 for it.
greg howe is a greaaaaat sales man lol
The ESP were better looking, no doubt about that. But they were more expensive - custom made.
These are awesome guitars. However, I don't really like how it looks. Well, it all depends on preference right?
Yeah that's not fair is it? Greg Howe can make even the crappiest guitar sound good!
how can I contact the company? I can only find guitar center when I search laguna guitars
Scout Void musician's friend sells lagunas
The company was part of guitar center, but laguna guitars went out of business
@@johnmansfield4628 years later and I forgot the brand existed. I moved onto customizing Jackson guitars the way I like them haha
But, does it sustain?
LE924 is almost a perfect guitar, but, the bridge pup is too far from the bridge, and of course it needs the Original Floyd:)
These guitars looks nice, but the Floyd Rose on those double locking models looks really cheap. They look just like the FR that came in a Cort x11 I had which felt cheap didn't stay in tune after some dive bombs.
@julneojazz *Cough*JoeSatriani*Cough*
Who doesn't like him?
I got an le122 for 150$
Yo teach me guitar
D
how many times has howe said it's the best Guitar for him in his career? many. I can't really believe when he says it's the perfect Guitar for him.
can you say SCHECTER .......
@ShamrockPie If you just bought a higher end Laguna and put on better strings you would have saved a lot of money.
Thumbs Up for nothing
P.S.: AWESOME GUITARS!
Hard to judge, since Greg could play a stick with rubber bands and sound good...
@candrelsrosa Oh I've seen much, much worse.
Very Schecter-y. They don't look like they'd be fun to play at all!

What ever happened to this brand?
Obama plays guitar too?!
（笑）凄いのはこの人のトーンセンスとテクニックであってギターじゃないよ。あ、周知か。

greg is a boss but don't put word in his mouth. we don't know youuuuuuuu
They look decent but feel like sh*t
Nice guitars with the ugliest headstocks ever!
I don't understand how come this great guitar player is endorsing this cheap guitars
@jamesakira1 He looks nothing like Filipino man, instead he looks more like a black man.
i love greg howe! but these are just low quality, poorly made cheap guitars.
they aren't poorly made, they just have poor hardware, but they are very cheap. with a little time and some money, add emgs, and a Floyd rose, you'll have a great guitar
These guitars are pretty good to me the tuners work fine pick ups could be better but everything else works for me I have 12 guitars that cost a lot more but this is my old faith full. And I still have it.
@@tylermccann9841 ironically I bought one with the same configuration used at guitar center

@James Laurente, Greg howe's a blasian*Asian and African mix*lol
