Tramontane 118: At the Heart of the Lâg Range
The Tramontane 118 series embodies the balance dear to Lâg: serious craftsmanship, selected tonewoods, and immediate playability. This T118ACE-BLK stands as a reliable mid-range option, designed to offer a true sonic identity and stage versatility at a controlled price.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Ideal for beginner to intermediate demanding guitarists, it shines in fingerpicking, modern folk, acoustic pop/rock, and vocal accompaniment. Its Auditorium format balances lows, mids, and highs, while the onboard electronics facilitate seamless transition from home to stage or studio without compromise.
Sound
The solid red cedar top delivers a fast attack, silky mids, and controlled lows, perfect for articulation and dynamics at low to medium volume. The khaya (similar to mahogany) enhances roundness and warmth of the tone. The Auditorium body provides projection and clarity with natural sustain. Plugged in, the Astro-Lâg respects the acoustic character while offering precise shaping thanks to the 3-band EQ, brightness control, anti-feedback notch, phase switch, and built-in tuner.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve sound and playability, opt for phosphor bronze Light 12-52 string sets (matching the original gauge). A folk guitar capo suited for radius fingerboards is fully compatible. Keep a spare 9V battery for the preamp. For transport, an Auditorium-sized gig bag or case will provide good protection, and an acoustic guitar humidifier will help stabilize the instrument.
