LAG T118DCE Dreadnought Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Premium Craftsmanship. Powerful Acoustic Tone. Stage-Ready Performance.
The LAG T118DCE blends traditional luthier craftsmanship with modern performance features, delivering a rich acoustic voice and professional versatility. Part of LAG's acclaimed Tramontane T118 Series, this dreadnought cutaway electro-acoustic guitar offers warm tone, excellent projection, and refined aesthetics inspired by the natural beauty of Southern France.
Designed for serious players who want both expressive tone and reliable stage performance, the T118DCE provides the balance, clarity, and dynamic response that modern musicians demand.
Solid Red Cedar Top for Rich, Evolving Tone
At the heart of the T118DCE is a solid Red Cedar top, prized for its warm, responsive tone and quick dynamic response. Cedar delivers rich overtones and exceptional sensitivity, making it ideal for fingerstyle players while still providing strong projection for strumming.
Unlike laminate tops, a solid wood soundboard improves with age, developing greater tonal depth and resonance the more the guitar is played.
Paired with Khaya (African mahogany) back and sides, the T118DCE produces a balanced voice with warm lows, focused mids, and smooth articulation.
Dreadnought Power with Cutaway Playability
The dreadnought body provides the powerful bass response and headroom players expect from a full-size acoustic guitar. Whether you're flatpicking, strumming, or fingerpicking, the T118DCE delivers strong projection and balanced clarity.
The cutaway design adds effortless access to upper frets, making it easier to explore lead lines, extended chord voicings, and melodic passages across the full fretboard.
Astro-Lag Electronics for Stage and Studio
Equipped with the Astro-Lag preamp system, the T118DCE transitions seamlessly from acoustic practice to amplified performance.
Controls include:
- Volume
- 3-band EQ (Low, Mid, High)
- Brilliance control
- Notch filter for feedback reduction
- Phase control
- Built-in tuner
The result is a natural, articulate amplified tone that preserves the character of the guitar whether you're performing live, recording, or practicing through an amp or PA system.
Refined Details and Premium Materials
LAG's attention to craftsmanship is evident throughout the instrument.
BrankoWood components are used for the bridge, fingerboard, and headstock, providing stability and a sleek aesthetic. Black hardware, die-cast tuners, and a graphite nut complete the guitar's elegant Tramontane styling.
Quarter-round body bindings enhance both the visual design and long-term playing comfort.
