LAG T118ACE-BLK Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Black

Bold Finish. Warm Tone. Stage-Ready Performance.

The LAG T118ACE-BLK brings the proven Tramontane 118 formula to a striking gloss black finish — an auditorium cutaway acoustic-electric that commands attention before you play a note. Part of LAG's respected Tramontane 118 Series, this guitar delivers warm solid-top tone, comfortable auditorium playability, and reliable AstroLag electronics, all wrapped in a finish that suits players who want something that stands out on stage and on the wall.

Solid Red Cedar Top for Warm, Responsive Tone

At the heart of the T118ACE-BLK is a solid Red Cedar top — prized for its warmth, sensitivity, and quick dynamic response. Cedar opens up faster than spruce, delivering rich overtones and expressive nuance from the first note, making it equally at home for fingerstyle playing and full-chord strumming. Unlike laminate-top guitars, a solid wood soundboard improves with age, developing greater resonance and tonal complexity the more it's played. Paired with Khaya back and sides, the T118ACE-BLK produces a balanced, full-bodied voice with warm lows, focused mids, and smooth articulation.

Auditorium Body with Cutaway Playability

The auditorium body shape strikes the ideal balance between comfort and projection — slightly smaller than a dreadnought, it sits comfortably against the body while still delivering strong acoustic presence. The cutaway design adds effortless access to upper frets, opening up lead lines, extended chord voicings, and melodic passages across the full fretboard without compromise.

AstroLag Electronics for Stage and Studio

Equipped with the AstroLag preamp system, the T118ACE-BLK transitions seamlessly from acoustic practice to amplified performance. Onboard controls include:

• Volume
• 3-Band EQ (Low, Mid, High)
• Brilliance control
• Notch filter for feedback reduction
• Phase control
• Built-in chromatic tuner
