A completely new design, largely thanks to luthier Maurice Dupont, makes these Tramontane guitars unbeatable in terms of value for money!
While the models in the different ranges of Lâg acoustics change regularly, it is to meet the French luthiers' desire to constantly improve their guitars. Admittedly, it can be unsettling not to find the same model from one year to the next at retailers, but if it means accessing instruments that are always more efficient, enjoyable to play, and with intense tonal qualities, who could complain?
The T170, at the heart of the new range.
And this is the case with this brand new T170 which, positioned in the center of the Tramontane series, has benefited from numerous innovations, most of which are due to luthier Maurice Dupont who has been responsible for the design and production follow-up of Lâg guitars for several months now. And the man with the magic touch has worked miracles! Including, notably, a redesigned bracing system tested multiple times until achieving perfect tonal balance. The success was such that this new design has been extended to the T70 and T270 models, which should be available soon.
An outstanding satin finish.
When you pick up this T170, you are immediately impressed by the solid cedar top, which gives it a warm look but also a refined appearance thanks, among other things, to the satin varnish with a beautiful effect. As always, it features an asymmetric rosette design with the Occitan cross contributing to its classy appearance. The back and sides, also with a satin finish, are made of khaya, an African mahogany, which perfectly complements the cedar top both in terms of color and sound. In other words, the best of both worlds. For the rest, you find the usual Lâg features: graphite nuts and black oil-bath tuners.
A warm yet powerful sound.
The feel, whether it is the dreadnought or auditorium model, is obvious as it proves easy and comfortable to play. And the neck profile, slim and nicely rounded, certainly contributes to this. You know, the kind of neck that immediately makes you feel you are playing well! Fingerstyle players (and also smaller players!) will likely opt for the auditorium format, which is ideally suited to this playing style. On the other hand, rhythm players and those seeking strong power will definitely choose the dreadnought. In both cases, they will appreciate the balance between bass and treble, even if the cedar top slightly emphasizes the mid frequencies. This explains the warm tone of these models.
