LAG Tramontane 118 T118DCE-BRS Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Solid Cedar Tone. Stage-Ready Electronics. A Finish Worth Playing.
The LAG Tramontane T118DCE-BRS brings together traditional acoustic craftsmanship and modern performance features in a guitar that's as visually striking as it is musically capable. Part of LAG's respected Tramontane 118 Series, this dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric is finished in a rich Brown Shadow gloss varnish — a warm, deep tone that sets it apart from the standard natural or sunburst crowd.
Whether you're writing at home, recording in the studio, or performing on stage, the T118DCE-BRS is built to handle all of it with confidence.
Solid Red Cedar Top for Warm, Responsive Tone
The foundation of the T118DCE-BRS is a solid Red Cedar top — a tonewoods choice favored 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 T118DCE-BRS produces a balanced, full-bodied voice — warm lows, focused midrange, and smooth high-end articulation that translates well both acoustically and amplified.
Dreadnought Power with Cutaway Playability
The dreadnought body delivers the headroom and projection that players expect from a full-size acoustic — strong bass response, clear mids, and the kind of volume that fills a room without effort. The cutaway design adds effortless access to upper frets, opening up lead lines, extended voicings, and melodic passages across the full fretboard without compromise.
AstroLag Electronics for Stage and Studio
Equipped with the AstroLag preamp system, the T118DCE-BRS transitions seamlessly from acoustic practice to amplified performance. The onboard controls give you precise command over your amplified tone:
- Volume
- 3-Band EQ: Low, Middle, High
- Brilliance control
- Notch filter for feedback reduction
- Phase control
- Built-in chromatic tuner
The result is a natural, articulate amplified tone that preserves the character of the guitar — whether you're running into a PA, a dedicated acoustic amp, or a recording interface.
Refined Details and Premium Materials
LAG's attention to build quality is evident throughout. BrankoWood is used for the headstock, bridge, and fingerboard — providing stability, a clean aesthetic, and consistent feel across the fretboard. Black graphite nut, saddle, and bridge pins keep the hardware cohesive and functional, while black die-cast machine heads deliver smooth, reliable tuning stability.
Quarter-round body bindings complete the look, adding a refined edge to the Brown Shadow finish that makes this guitar stand out on a wall or a stage.
